Saudi Arabia’s players celebrate their victory in the Qatar 2022 World Cup Group C football match between Argentina and Saudi Arabia at the Lusail Stadium in Lusail, north of Doha on November 22, 2022. Lionel Messi stood with his hands on his hips near the center circle, looking stone-faced as Saudi Arabia’s jubilant players ran in all directions around him after scoring one of the biggest World Cup upsets ever against Argentina. The South American champion and one of the tournament favorites slumped to a 2-1 loss against Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, November 22, in a deflating start to Messi’s quest to win the one major title that has eluded him.
