Kylian Mbappe aimed an emotion-filled goal celebration towards his club teammate Lionel Messi during a pulsating World Cup final.
It was a showpiece clash that had been billed around the two Paris Saint-Germain superstars who not only were the major goal threats for their nation but, going into the match, were tied at the top of the competition’s Golden Boot race with five goals apiece.
For most of the encounter it appeared that Argentina were cantering towards their first World Cup title since 1986 as Messi gave them the lead midway through the first half in Lusail, coolly converting from the penalty spot after Angel Di Maria went down under minimal contact from Ousmane Dembele.
