Barcelona tweet and then delete Kylian Mbappe message as Lionel Messi wins World Cup

Barcelona fired out a Tweet about Kylian Mbappe before quickly deleting it after the 23-year-old scored a sensational hat-trick in the World Cup final.

At 2-0 down with 10 minutes to go, France looked down and out but a penalty from Mbappe in the 80th minute was quickly followed by a stunning volley a minute later, forcing the game into extra time.

With Argentina 3-2 up in the second period of extra-time, Mbappe completed his hat-trick with another spot kick three minutes from the end.
