Argentina 'superfans' in Bangladesh erupt as Messi lifts World Cup trophy.
1/5
Argentina's "superfans" in Bangladesh are over the moon now as Lionel Messi scored two goals and converted in the shootout as the South American side beat France 4-2 on penalties Sunday to claim a third World Cup title despite Kylian Mbappé scoring the first hattrick in a final in 56 years.
Millions of people in Bangladesh become de facto Argentina fans every four years, supporting the team and its players with the same zeal as the Argentines.
Although Bangladesh's devotion to the Argentina football team is nothing new, this year it captured the world's attention unlike any other.
Argentinians also took notice of the devotion to their team and opened a Facebook group for Argentina fans of the Bangladesh cricket team and waved the red and green flags in the streets of Buenos Aires. Photo: Abu Sufian Jewel/UNB.
