The history of the World Cup has witnessed a rare occurrence where the Argentine national team failed to register any shots on target during the final match, a scenario that has only happened twice in the tournament's history.

The first time was in 1990, when Argentina lost to Germany in the final without managing to take a single shot on their opponent's goal, with Diego Maradona as the captain of the tango dancers at that time.

After 36 years, the scene repeated itself in the 2026 World Cup final against Spain, where the Argentine team, led by Lionel Messi, failed to register any shots on target, bringing together two Argentine legends in a rare negative statistic during the most important match in the world of football.
