Argentina have ended their 36-year wait to become world champions, having beaten France on penalties 4-2 following a 3-3 draw after extra time in the World Cup final in Qatar.
The South Americans started much the better side and earned a deserved lead when Lionel Messi tucked away a penalty following a foul on Angel Di Maria. The pressure from the Albiceleste was unrelenting and a brilliant break down the right channel ended in Alexis Mac Allister crossing for Di Maria to rattle in a second.
