MARIO GOTZE wildly celebrated Argentina’s World Cup win with his son, eight years on from his winning goal against Lionel Messi and Co for Germany in the 2014 final.
The Eintracht Frankfurt ace, 30, scored the winner inside the Maracana late in extra-time, earning Germany a fourth star and breaking Argentine hearts.
Gotze missed out on Germany’s World Cup 2018 squad but returned this year and featured twice in the group stages.
But Germany missed out on a knockout spot to Spain and Japan.
And while enjoying some family time with stunning wife, Ann-Kathrin Brommel, and son Rome, Gotze was supporting Argentina on their quest for World Cup glory.
Argentina took the lead twice in the 3-3 thriller, and won the penalty shootout 4-2.

Messi scored a brace in 120 minutes and set the tone, as a captain should, in the shootout.
And Gotze was more than pleased to see Messi finally win a world crown.
Gotze and Rome wildly celebrated Argentina’s win, and the footballer even posted an edited photo of a smiling 35-year-old Messi consoling his 2014 younger self.
Messi said in an Instagram post nearing 41million likes: “CHAMPIONS OF THE WORLD!!!!!!!
