A petition to have the 2022 Qatar World Cup final replayed has been signed by 200,000 people in an attempt to deny Argentina of their third title.
Lionel Messi and co beat France on penalties after a thrilling 3-3 draw in arguably one of the greatest finals in history last Sunday. Argentina were crowned champions for the first time since 1986 to deny Les Blues of retaining their title.
Gonzalo Montiel was the hero in the shoot-out but the plaudits were directed to Messi and former Arsenal goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez following their consistent heroics in the Middle East. Messi, who won the Golden Ball, became the first player in World Cup history to score in the group stage, last 16, quarter-final, semi-final and final with a double.
