Argentine fans are clamoring for pop star Lali Espósito to sing the national anthem at the upcoming World Cup final, following the team's semifinal victory. Social media buzzed with fervent requests for her return to the stage, recalling her powerful rendition at the previous World Cup final in Qatar.

Thousands of users flooded Espósito's Instagram, urging officials to bring her back as a "cabalá," or good luck charm. Comments like "Come on, Chiqui Tapia. She's our good luck charm. She represents us best" and "Lali, start dusting off the dress you wore for the World Cup final... You know what I mean, right?" flooded her feed.

The sentiment was amplified by Fiesta Polenta, a popular Argentine party brand, which posted an image of Espósito from the 2022 World Cup, captioned "Warm up, you're going in." Espósito herself responded to the outpouring with a simple "Lpm," an Argentine expletive.

Currently, the singer is vacationing in Europe with her partner, Pedro Rosemblat. After starting the World Cup celebrations in Argentina, the couple traveled to Spain and are now following the tournament from Italy. The fan excitement highlights Espósito's strong connection with the national team and her iconic status among Argentine supporters.
