Brazil and Argentina have one of the fiercest rivalries in international football. The two South American powerhouses have faced off over 100 times and their matches are filled with intensity as each side fights for regional bragging rights.
While they are fierce adversaries on the pitch, Brazil  and Argentina  also share a great deal of cultural similarities as neighboring nations. Football is deeply engrained in both of their societies and their national teams hold legendary status. Iconic players like Pele, Maradona, Messi and Neymar have transcended the sport and achieved almost god-like reverence among their passionate fan bases.
Historically, Brazil has held the edge in their overall rivalry, winning 41 matches compared to Argentina's 38. But Argentina has found success against Brazil in some of their highest profile clashes, delivering heartbreak to their rivals on several monumental occasions. Perhaps most famously, Argentina defeated Brazil 1-0 in the 1990 FIFA World Cup final in Italy, with Pedro Monzon's goal securing their second World Cup title. Diego Maradona was utterly dominant in that match, bewitching the Brazilian defence and inspiring Lionel Messi and millions of Argentines for generations to come.
While Brazil boasts five World Cup championships to Argentina's two, La Albiceleste handed Brazil one of their most devastating defeats in recent memory in the 2021 Copa America final hosted in Brazil.  Argentina dominated possession and scored an early goal before withstanding waves of Brazilian pressure for a 1-0 victory at the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro. Lionel Messi 朗 was chosen as the player of the tournament and it seemed to validate his status as one of the greatest to ever play for Argentina. Winning on their rival's home soil made the pain that much worse for Brazilians to take.
These two giants continue to renew their rivalry on soccer's biggest stages. At the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, they could meet in semi-final or final in a matchup that would captivate the entire planet. Their epic showdowns always seem to have higher stakes attached with them. As long as Brazil  and Argentina  both remain among the elite, their rivalry will undoubtedly produce many more magical - and agonizing - moments for generations of their passionate supporters. 勞 - https://mbscore.tv/match/brazil-vs-argentina-18946416
