Manchester United's Lisandro Martinez and Man City ace Julian Alvarez win the World Cup

Lionel Messi starred for Argentina as Manchester United defender Lisandro Martinez and Manchester City's Julian Alvarez won the World Cup on penalties against France.

It looked like Messi and his teammates were going to have an easy afternoon when they went 2-0 up before the interval. However, a mad 90 seconds with 10 minutes of normal time remaining put the game in the balance as Kylian Mbappe scored a brilliant brace to take the game to extra time.

Messi thought he had won it in the 108th minute but Mbappe scored again from the penalty spot to take the match to a shootout. But France's luck ran out and it was Argentina who take home the trophy.
