Former Germany striker Jurgen Klinsmann has predicted that Argentina will win the FIFA World Cup in Qatar later this year.
Argentina are in Group C in the 2022 World Cup and will face Saudi Arabia, Poland and Mexico, while Brazil are in Group G alongside Serbia, Switzerland and Cameroon.
The 2022 FIFA World Cup will start in November, later this year.
Speaking to Premier (via SPORT), Klinsmann said: “Argentina should have won a couple more cups since 1990. Maybe that will happen this year.
“Why not? I would like it to happen, especially for Leo. May he win this time as a Christmas present.”
Asked to name a favourite country to win the World Cup, he added: “To be honest, I think that to analyse a team as a favourite, you have to look at how the qualifiers were. And today, Argentina and Brazil are candidates above the Europeans.”
