This was Lionel Messi’s World Cup tournament, the whole way through
Argentina Beats France In Wild World Cup Final—Forever Cementing Lionel Messi's Legacy
Argentina dominated the start of the final in Lusail, Quatar, and took a 2-0 lead into the half. The roars of Argentinian fans seemed to drown out all sound in the stadium. In the 23rd minute, Messi stood focused, ready to take a penalty shot in a scoreless game that Argentina was firmly dominating. Messi stepped to the ball, stopped to juke out France keeper Hugo Lloris, and placed it in the right side of his net, his fourth penalty goal in the World Cup in five attempts.
Then, one minute and 33 seconds later, fans witnessed what would seem impossible, if Mbappé wasn’t involved. Marcus Thuram won control of ball, lofting a pass to Mbappé on the left wing. Mbappé ripped a heart-stopping volley just past the left hand of Argentina keeper Emiliano Martínez. The game was tied, 2-2. Mbappé’s unmatched motor was fully turned on, and at this point, he looked ready to finish off a stunned Argentine side with a hat trick in regulation.
On Argentina’s next penalty shot, Montiel fired the ball to the left side of the net. Lloris didn’t have a chance. Argentina won the World Cup. Buenos Aires went berserk. Argentina’s World Cup in Qatar began in disastrous fashion, with a shocking 2-1 loss to Saudi Arabia on Nov 22. Since then, however, Argentina went undefeated, outscoring its opposition 14-6 the rest of the tournament.
