EXTRAORDINARY, PHENOMENAL, UNPRECEDENTED; what else can one ask for in the grand finale of the most outstanding football carnival on the planet?
Fans worldwide were forced to their couch at the very last minute of the showdown on Sunday evening when two torrential sides clashed with each other to deliver one of the greatest matches in football history.
The defending champion France took on the mighty white and blue sides led by Lionel Andrés Messi, ‘the boy from Rosario’ on December 18, 2022, at Lusail Stadium, Qatar.
Ultimately, Argentina lifted the trophy and added the finest feather to Messi’s crown, which he and his fans had been waiting for many years.
The game was pushed to penalty shootouts to decide the champion.
The veteran player Hugo Lloris became the second-oldest captain to head a side at 35 years and 357 days. Scaloni lined up the starting eleven with Di Maria, replacing Paredes, whereas Rabiot and Upamecano came back in the finals, boosting the confidence of Didier Deschamps’s squad.
Varane was also maintaining his position in the lineup. On the other hand, it was Messi’s record-breaking 26th World Cup appearance.
From the beginning, it was the La Albiceleste to keep the command of the game, with De Paul and Di Maria creating a couple of the early possibilities. In the 23rd minute, Messi scored a goal through a penalty as an outcome of Dembele’s challenge on Di Maria in the box. In the 36th minute, Di Maria gave a 2-0 lead through a square of Mac Allister.
Twenty minutes before the match-end, Coman substituted Griezman to support France’s attacking half. Minutes after, Mbappe scored through a penalty as Otamendi dragged down Muaini in the box. Just within ninety-seven seconds, Mbappe hit the ball, meeting the fine pass from Thuram, which extended the game into extra time.
The 103rd-minute goal of Argentina was again equalized by Mbappe in the 118th minute just to become the only second player to score a hat-trick in the World Cup final. Ultimately, it came down to penalty shootouts, and Argentina sealed the victory with a 4-2 score.
Messi came to be the man of the tournament and Emiliano Martínez won the Golden Gloves. Mapper topped the goal tally to reign over the Golden Boot. The thrilling journey of the controversial Qatar episode ended on a high note, as Messi, after consecutive backslashes in the past, eventually tasted the World Cup victory.
In contrast, the French campaign ended with total devastation, with young Kylian Mbappe’s all efforts going in vain.
