In a blockbuster World Cup final that was billed as Lionel Messi vs Kylian Mbappe, it was a member of Argentina's supporting cast who made headlines of his own.
The Albiceleste and France were unable to be separated during an enthralling finale that was truly befitting of the occasion. Both Messi and Mbappe delivered on the biggest stage, Messi with a brace, Mbappe with a hat-trick, with extra-time unable to separate the sides.
That ensured that, for just the third time in history, the World Cup final would be decided by penalties. And for the second time in a matter of weeks, Emiliano Martinez underlined why he has garnered a reputation as a shootout juggernaut.
