Argentina squad ditched luxury stay in a 5-star hotel and the University of Qatar was their residence during their stay in Doha. However, it is yet to be ascertained whether the Messi museum will be operated from the same complex or will be moved to a different location on the same campus.
Lionel Messi achieved the major trophy that had eluded him all his career. While Messi boasted of an enviable trophy cabinet, the FIFA World Cup trophy was missing from that collection which he finally was able to lift when Argentina defeated France in the finals of the 2022 edition of the competition held at the Lusail Stadium in Qatar on December 28 (Sunday).
Messi led from the front on the night of the finals as he scored a brace before also scoring from the spot in the penalty shootout. Riding on his inspirational performance, the Albiceleste secured their third FIFA World Cup title.
