Jubilant Argentina fans are celebrating around the globe after edging out France in an epic World Cup final - including at the house of the late, great Diego Maradona.
Lionel Messi stole the show in Qatar as he inspired Lionel Scaloni's side to their first World Cup triumph since Maradona led the Albiceleste to glory back in 1986. The tournament was played just over two years after the Argentinian icon passed away back in 2020.
First-half goals from Messi and Angel Di Maria had put Argentina in control against a France side who appeared to be devoid of energy after being plagued by a virus in the build-up to the final. But Didier Deschamps' suddenly burst into life in the 80th minute courtesy of a stunning double from Kylian Mbappe, who netted twice in just 90 seconds to force extra-time.
