Serena Williams, the American tennis star, says if she has a heart attack, it is because she is watching the FIFA World Cup final.

The Qatar 2022 World Cup ended on Sunday night with Argentina coming out on top.

Argentina won the match by defeating France 4-2 on penalties.

Lionel Messi led his country to victory in the pulsating final match, which initially ended 3-3 before the penalty shootout.

The PSG attacker scored twice to help Argentina secure a third World Cup trophy — their first in 36 years.

Emotions were high as the game was being played, with fans across the world rooting for their favourites and giving various predictions about how the match would end.

“Ok if I have a heart attack it’s cause I’m watching this #FIFAWorldCup,” Serena tweeted.
