Lionel Messi and Argentina won the World Cup after a dramatic 120 minutes, with Kylian Mbappe's hat-trick threatening to derail celebrations before the South Americans prevailed on penalties.
Mbappe was going toe to toe with Paris Saint-Germain colleague Messi in Qatar, and but was the veteran who got the early upper hand in his final World Cup appearance. Messi put Argentina ahead from the spot in the first half after Ousmane Dembele's foul on Angel Di Maria, before Di Maria himself made it two before the break.
France had looked hard to beat throughout the tournament as they sought to go back-to-back after beating Croatia in the 2018 final. With 10 minutes to go it looked done and dusted for Argentina, only for Mbappe to remind them he can never be written off.
