Argentina vs Italy at the World Cup

These two nations have won the FIFA World Cup no fewer than seven times combined. Italy were the first to triumph at the World Cup, doing so at the second edition of the tournament back in 1934. The Azzurri lifted the title on home soil and then successfully defended their crown four years later.

Only in 1982 did the Italians add world title number three to their collection, with victory over West Germany. This came four years after Argentina had celebrated their maiden World Cup success, thanks to a 3-1 win versus the Netherlands.

La Albiceleste reclaimed the World Cup Trophy from Italy in 1986, as Diego Maradona guided his nation with five goals at the event hosted by Mexico. Italy would end runners-up at the 1994 World Cup, losing to Brazil in the Final, but finally regained this prestigious trophy in 2006 following a penalty-shootout victory against France.

In 2022 Argentina brought an end to their 36-year wait for World Cup glory, as talisman Lionel Messi inspired the South Americans to their third world title.

Argentina vs Italy Head-to-Head

La Albiceleste & the Azzurri faced one another at five consecutive editions of the FIFA World Cup from 1974-1990. The first of these meetings came at the group stage, resulting in a 1-1 draw.

The teams reconvened in the group stage at the 1978 World Cup as Italy recorded a 1-0 win over host nation Argentina. Despite this, it was the South Americans who went on to claim honours at the end of the tournament.

Four years later the Italians beat Argentina, 2-1, with Marco Tardelli opening the scoring, on their way to becoming three-time world champions.

In 1986, they once again shared a group and played out a 1-1 draw. On this occasion it was the Argentinians who would go the distance and hoist the World Cup Trophy into the air.

Finally, at the 1990 World Cup, hosts Italy were beaten by Argentina in the semi-finals. The match ended all square before heroics from goalkeeper Sergio Goycochea steered La Albiceleste to the World Cup Final.
