Argentina vs France FIFA World Cup highlights: Messi gets his hands on the coveted trophy, ARG are world champions

 

FIFA World Cup 2022 Final highlights, Argentina vs France: Argentina won the penalty shootout after one of the greatest World Cup finals of all time ended in a 3-3 draw. 

The Lusail Stadium hosted what will go down as one of the greatest, if not the greatest, World Cup finals of all time. Argentina were cruising for much of the match, until Kylian Mbappe converted a penalty and scored a sensational equaliser to force the game into extra-time. That led to more insane football as chances flew around at both ends. Messi scored late in the second-half of extra time to seemingly win it for Argentina, only for them to concede a penalty mere seconds later. The flawless Mbappe converted that as well, thus becoming the first player since 1966 to score a hat-trick in the final of a World Cup. And yet, he ended up on the losing side, with Argentina winning the penalty shootout. Messi finally got his hands on the covetted World Cup trophy in what he said will be his last match in this tournament.
