WATCH: Argentina’s FIFA Triumph Had A Small Indian Connection; Here’s How

After the score being tied at 3-3 after the end of the stipulated time, Argentina defeated France on penalties with a score of 4-2 to win the World Cup on Sunday and end a 36-year drought for the trophy.

Kylian Mbappe scored a hat-trick and Lionel Messi scored twice to help the holders recover from 2-0 and 3-2 deficits.

The two star players of the tournament gave match-winning performances on the biggest stage, capping an epic night of drama, high emotion, and swinging fortunes with one of the all-time great finals.

However, what caught the attention of the Indian fans on social media was that when the Argentinian team arrived at the Lusail Stadium in Qatar for the Finals, the bus was driven by a Sikh man.

The Sikh man was also wearing a sky blue turban and appeared to be a fan of Argentina and Lionel Messi.

Argentina had an advantage. A Sikh gentleman drove the bus carrying the Argentinian team to the Lusail Stadium in Qatar. That’s a good omen ❤️ To top it all, he looked like an Argentinian fan. His sky blue Turban matched all the hype for today’s big final 🇦🇷👳🏻‍♂️ #Messi𓃵 #Qatar2022 pic.twitter.com/TTmaAyCggu
