He is regarded by many as the greatest football player of all time, but the World Cup trophy had always eluded Lionel Messi - until now.
The Argentine star has represented his country at five World Cups, but had crashed out on four occasions, being left heartbroken in 2014 when his side lost in the final thanks to a last-gasp Mario Gotze goal for Germany.
However, he finally got a taste of glory in an unbelievable final against France. In a stunning game, Messi gave his side the lead from the penalty spot before Angel Di Maria made it 2-0 in the first half, before Kylian Mbappe levelled the scores with an incredible quickfire double with 10 minutes left to send the game to extra-time.
