Argentina vs Portugal at the World Cup

At least one of these teams can claim to have lifted the prestigious World Cup Trophy. Argentina were first crowned champions of the world in 1978, on home soil, following a 3-1 win over the Netherlands in Buenos Aires.

The Argentinians reclaimed the world title from Italy in 1986, with Diego Maradona a guiding light for his nation. Five goals at the tournament and overall mesmerising performances returned La Albiceleste to the pinnacle of world football.

Only 36 years later would Argentina once again rise to the throne, with very fine margins in the 2022 World Cup Final. Argentina narrowly overcame France on penalties following a dramatic 120 minutes which ended 3-3.

Portugal, meanwhile, hadn’t managed to capture the World Cup prior to the 2026 edition in America. The Portuguese did clinch third place at the 1966 World Cup and later fourth place in 2006. The latter saw the Seleção lose 1-0 to France in the semi-finals, followed by a 3-1 defeat to hosts Germany in the third place play-off.

Prior to the 2026 World Cup, these two nations had never clashed at the showpiece event. In modern times their only previous meetings came in the form of International friendlies, first in February 2011 and then in November 2014.

The former saw the teams share a pitch in Geneva, Switzerland where Messi & Ronaldo were both on the scoresheet, and the latter took place at Old Trafford, where CR7 had spent six years as a Manchester United player.
