As seen in the video televised live after the epic final in which Argentina won 4-2 on penalties after the scores were pegged at 3-3 during the normal time, the South American icon moved up to his ecstatic teammates and finished the trophy lift while wearing a piece of clothes that had been gifted to him by the Emir earlier. <\/p>\n

The black and gold cloak that was handed to Messi is called a bisht. The captain of Argentina was instructed to put on a ceremonial robe for his time in the spotlight. <\/p>\n

A bisht is a lengthy garment composed of sheer material with genuine gold accents. The Gulf area sees it as a symbol of appreciation and respect and associates it with special occasions.<\/p>\n

A bisht is typically worn by high-ranking officials, politicians, and other people of status; however, they are also worn in the Arab world for weddings and religious celebrations. <\/p>\n

It was only appropriate that Messi would be invited to don one while Argentina basked in World Cup victory because the bisht is synonymous with celebration.<\/p>\n
