Argentina fan Shah Rukh Khan was elated to watch Argentina beat the defending champions France 4-2 on penalties to lift the FIFA 2022 World Cup on Sunday night. Taking to Twitter, King Khan called the finale match ‘one of the best World Cup Finals ever’ and bowed down to the team’s captain, legendary footballer Lionel Messi.

“We are living in the time of one of the best World Cup Finals ever. I remember watching WC with my mom on a small tv….now the same excitement with my kids!! And thank u #Messi for making us all believe in talent, hard work & dreams!!” Shah Rukh Khan tweeted.

The actor was promoting his upcoming release Pathaan when he made the confession. Shah Rukh Khan joined legendary footballer Wayne Rooney to discuss all things football and Pathaan.
