Argentina and Lionel Messi are now World Champions, defeating a resurgent France side.

When the game went to extra time at 2-2 you knew that there was still a goal or two to go, and it was always going to be a 50/50 split between PSG teammates Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe.

When Messi scored his second of the game, we thought it was all over.

But in true Mbappe fashion, he was having none of it and became the second-ever hat-trick hero in a World Cup Final at just 23 years old – a real sign of what is to come in his career.

Ultimately though, the script went to plan, with Argentina and Lionel Messi prevailing in what makes for a phenomenal World Cup bow for the Footballing Great.
