Overall World Cups: Argentina have successfully claimed football's grandest prize on exactly three occasions.

These hat-trick of wins have firmly established them as one of the elite nations in the global game.

Maiden 1978 victory: Hosting the prestigious competition for the first time, the South American nation won the famous trophy for the first time 48 years ago.

They vanquished a talented Dutch side 3-1 after extra time, heavily relying on the goalscoring heroics of Mario Kempes.

Iconic 1986 campaign: Driven by the brilliance of Diego Maradona (and a certain Hand of God), Argentina marched to their second glorious title on Mexican soil.
