argentina vs saudi arabia

Argentina will face Saudi Arabia in the opening match of their FIFA World Cup 2022 campaign on November 22 at the Lusail Iconic Stadium. The Latin American nation won the coveted trophy in 1978 and 1986, and Lionel Messi will want to do it again in what will undoubtedly be his last international dance. Since winning Copa America in 2021, Argentina has not lost a single game in 36 matches. They have dominated their last five matches, scoring 16 objectives and recording five clean sheets.

Overview

Prior to Argentina's tournament opener against Saudi Arabia, Messi has responded to the frequently asked question concerning his rumored injury. Speaking to the media during the customary pre-game press conference, Messi reacted to claims that his fitness was in doubt after he had apparently skipped training in Qatar. Messi denied such claims that he had an ankle injury and said he would be ready to lead Lionel Scaloni's team against Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia will want to at least match their World Cup performance in 1994 when they lost in the round of 16 after barely making it out of the group stage. They will be put to the test by the Albiceleste, who have only won two of their last ten games in all competitions.
Teams
 Argentina Since losing 2-0 to Brazil in the Copa America 2019 tournament, Argentina has won a remarkable 36 consecutive games in all competitions. They have won each of their last five games overall and qualified for the FIFA World Cup 2022 without dropping a single game during this time. Argentina's exit from the tournament in 2018 with only one victory was a bitter disappointment after their 2014 semifinal defeat to Germany. Since this is believed to be the last tournament for the legendary footballer, Messi's fans want the Argentine team to perform much better.
