Messi will not be able to take the trophy with him to Argentina even after winning it
after a glorious night of football at the Lusail Stadium in Doha, Lionel Messi finally got his chance to lift the Fifa World Cup trophy with Argentina winning in the final against France.
t took him more than 16 years after playing his maiden World Cup tournament, and several heartbreaks in between, to land the coveted prize.
The original World Cup trophy was called the Jules Rimet Trophy, in honour of former Fifa president Jules Rimet.
From when the first World Cup was held in 1930 to 1970, the trophy, made of gold-plated sterling silver, weighed 3.8 kg and was given to the champions.
Fifa had a rule in place that allowed countries which won the World Cup three times to keep the original trophy. Thus, Brazil took home the Jules Rimet Trophy after their third title in 1970.
In 1983, the Jules Rimet Trophy that Brazil took home in 1970 was stolen from a display case at the Brazilian Football Confederation headquarters in Rio de Janeiro.
Designed by artist Silvio Gazzaniga and weighing 6.175 kg, the trophy contains 4,927 gm of pure gold.
