The FIFA Men's Player of the Year has a total of three players in the final candidate list, namely Messi, Mbappe and last year's Ballon d'Or winner Benzema.

The team then went all the way to the finals, eliminating Australia, the Netherlands and last year's runner-up Croatia. In the final, Argentina drew 3-3 with France in regular time + overtime, and in the penalty shootout, Argentina won the World Cup 4-2 against France. This is the first time that Lionel Messi won the World Cup, and the second World Cup title in Argentina's history.

In 2022, Messi led Argentina to win the World Cup for the third time in the team's history, and he won the World Cup Golden Ball Award with 7 goals and 3 assists; at the club level, Messi also helped Paris Saint-Germain win the Ligue 1 championship and the French Super Cup.nationnal jersey
