Messi is like Santa Claus

In the 30-second video, a boy walks down the stairs to a Christmas tree, where there is a gift box, inside is the World Cup. He lifted the Cup, said: "Thank you Santa Claus" and then kissed the Golden Cup as Messi's gesture after winning the title at Lusail Stadium on December 18.

At the end of the video, AFA conveys a message to the national players: "Congratulations to the world champions".

Argentina is still ecstatic with the victory in the 2022 World Cup final, even though more than a week has passed. After the victory parade in Buenos Aires on December 20, the players returned to rest with their families. Earlier, it was reported that Rosario, Argentina's third largest city and Messi's hometown, would hold another parade, but this idea was rejected.

Messi and the Argentina players will gather with the club this week to prepare for the return of tournaments. On the evening of December 28, Messi's parent club PSG will receive Strasbourg in the round of 16 of Ligue 1. The Argentine captain wants to bring the Golden Cup to Parc des Princes to show it off, but has not been approved by the club due to fear of objections from French fans.

Earlier, many sources confirmed that Messi had agreed to sign with PSG until 2024 with the clause allowing the French club to extend it for another year. This information ends speculation that the 34-year-old striker will go to the US to play football next year, when the current contract ends. PSG is likely to announce this information after Messi returns to France.
