Lionel Messi has finally won the trophy that has alluded him for his entire football career, the World Cup. After a completely ludicrous 120 minutes of football, Argentina beat France 4-2 in a dramatic penalty shoot-out.
Ironically the first huge moment of the game was from the penalty spot with Messi converting from 12 yards after Angel Di Maria was felled by Ousmane Dembele. Di Maria then doubled his nation's lead in the 36th minute converting Alexis Mac Allister's pass.
Kylian Mbappe then stole the limelight with two goals in two minutes to drag France level and force extra time. Messi snatched the spot light back with a 108th minute goal but the contest was not decided yet with Mbappe scoring a penalty with two minutes to go in extra time.
