Golden Boot winner at World Cup 2022: Top scorer and final standings confirmed

There was a truly thrilling end to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar on Sunday as Argentina sealed their first World Cup trophy in 36 years with a penalty shootout win over France in the final.

In a stunning game, Lionel Messi gave his side the lead from the penalty spot before Angel Di Maria made it 2-0 early in the first half, with France star Kylian Mbappe then levelling the scores with an incredible quickfire double with 10 minutes left to send the game to extra-time.

A breathless half an hour of extra-time saw Messi grab another as he scrambled the ball into the French net to seemingly win the final for Argentina, before Mbappe came to the rescue again, taking the game to penalties with a historic World Cup final hat-trick.
