After a highly-charged World Cup semi-final in Atlanta, we now know who will face Spain in Sunday's World Cup final.
Argentina completed yet another comeback on Wednesday, this time with a spot in the final on the line, as they defeated England, 2-1.
That means Lionel Scaloni's side will head to New York this weekend, with Spain awaiting in football's biggest game.
It won't, however, be the first time the Argentina national team has made it to the World Cup showpiece.
DAZN/FIFAHow many times have Argentina made the World Cup final?
The 2026 final will mark the sixth occasion that Argentina have made it all the way in the competition to get to the tournament's final.
Their first appearance in the finale came in 1978, when the Albiceleste captured their first World Cup title on home soil.
They added a second star above their crest after winning the World Cup in 1986, and nearly made it back-to-back triumphs in 1990 but fell at the final hurdle, finishing as runners-up.
It took a generation for the Argentines to make it back to a World Cup final, as the Lionel Messi-led squad earned runners-up medals in 2014.
Messi finally got the lift the famous trophy in 2022, giving Argentina their third triumph.
The class of 2026, still led by Messi, will now look to make it consecutive victories in the final as they pursue a fourth star for their nation.
