Argentina won the World Cup under the leadership of Lionel Messi after defeating France on penalties in one of the most exciting finishes in tournament history.
After Kylian Mbappe scored twice in the final 10 minutes to force extra time after Lionel Messi's penalty and Angel di Maria's swerving goal gave Argentina a 2-0 lead in the first half, it appeared as though Argentina had thrown away the championship.
Mbappe startled the South Americans once again from the penalty spot to force a shootout with his third, the first hat-trick in a World Cup final since 1966. Messi later restored their advantage in the extra session.
However, Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez stopped Kingsley Coman's penalty, and Aurelien Tchouameni then missed the goal, allowing Gonzalo Montiel to score the game-winning goal and set off amazing scenes.
