Argentina's world champions parade in Qatar

STORY: In what will be the first in many celebrations and parades, the Argentines took part in a celebration on Lusail Boulevard near the stadium to mark Qatar National Day.

Argentina won the World Cup on Sunday after beating defending champions France 4-2 on penalties, following a dramatic 3-3 draw after extra time.

Argentina keeper Emiliano Martinez saved Kingsley Coman's penalty and Aurelien Tchouameni fired wide to give Argentina their first world title since 1986, and third overall.

Lionel Messi scored twice in the match before finishing off his penalty as he won the World Cup in what is likely to be his last.

The Argentina squad are expected to return home to Buenos Aires later on Monday where the celebrations will continue.
