Argentina has defeated the defending Champion, France, to lift the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Lionel Messi underscored his claims of being the greatest football player in history as Argentina prevailed on penalties after sharing a World Cup final for the ages with France.
Argentina led 2-0 at halftime and 3-2 in extra time, with Messi scoring twice either side of a goal from the exceptional Angel Di Maria.
But Messi’s Paris Saint-Germain teammate Kylian Mbappe, became the second man in World Cup final history to score a hat-trick, twice holding his nerve from the penalty spot in a pulsating 3-3 draw.
He did so again at the start of the shootout, but Kinglsey Coman’s spot-kick was saved by Emiliano Martinez and Aurelien Tchoumeni fired wide. Messi, Paulo Dybala and Leandro Paredes all converted, leaving Gonzalo Montiel to send Hugo Lloris the wrong way and secure his country’s third World Cup.
