Lionel Messi scored twice to give Argentina the lead, but France was in no mood to give up. The hat-trick by their talisman Kylian Mbappe meant the game went to the penalties.
The Argentine goalkeeper who won the Golden Glove saved a penalty in the shootout to help the team win the trophy. Lionel Messi was named the best player and won the Golden Ball award. His PSG teammate Mbappe won the Golden Boot with eight goals in the World Cup.
Argentina was crowned World Champions for the third time in history, their first World Cup trophy after 1986. They came close in 2014 but lost to a last-gasp winner from Germany. The fans were anticipating it would be the last international game for Messi, but the player has cleared the air about his future.
