Qatar/IBNS: As Argentina's World Cup hero Lionel Messi celebrates his country's win and his heroic stance at the final match, his wife Antonela Roccuzzo penned a heartfelt note on Instagram.

"WORLD CHAMPIONS I don't even know how to start.. We feel great pride for you @leomessi thank you for teaching us to never give up, you have to fight to the end FINALLY WORLD CHAMPION, we know what you suffered so many years, what you wanted to get!!! LET'S GO ARGENTINA," she wrote on Instagram.

Messi led Argentina to win their third World Cup title.

The Argentinian hero won the best player award while French star Kylian Mbappe clinched the Golden Boot award after a thrilling final played between the two nations in Qatar on Sunday.

Argentina defeated France by 4-2 margin in a dramatic penalty shootout to lift the title. Both the teams were tied at 3-3 after the completion of regular and extra time.

LUSAIL, Dec. 18, 2022 (UNI/Xinhua) -- Players of Argentina celebrate their victory after the penalty shoot-out of the Final between Argentina and France at the 2022 FIFA World Cup at Lusail Stadium in Lusail, Qatar, Dec. 18, 2022.

Messi, who is the captain of the Argentina squad and led the country to win their third World Cup title, netted seven goals in seven games and became the first player to score in each round of the same World Cup ever since the last-16 round was introduced in the signature football event in 1986.

Messi also won the same award in 2014.
