Argentina won their third Fifa men’s World Cup after beating France 3 (4)- 3 (2) in the final on Sunday at the Lusail Stadium in Qatar.
In a thriller, Kylian Mbappe-inspired France came back from 0-2 and 2-3 down to send the match to extra time and then penalty shootouts where Emiliano Martinez became the hero.
Lionel Messi made up for the 2014 final heartbreak in Brazil to score twice and then also in the shootout and clinch football’s biggest title for the first time.
