Lionel Messi finally lead Argentina to World Cup success, adding international football's grandest prize to his impressive collection.
The little magician scored twice in the showpiece match at the Lusail Stadium but France fought back on two occasions - including from two goals down - to take the game to penalties.
Kylian Mbappe, Messi's PSG teammate, shone once again on the world stage picking up the match ball after becoming the first player to score a hat-trick in a World Cup final since Sir Geoff Hurst in 1966.
