SONNA – Lionel Messi and Argentina won an all-time classic World Cup final despite Kylian Mbappe’s hat-trick taking France into a penalty shoot-out following a 3-3 draw on Sunday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Gonzalo Montiel converted the winning spot-kick to clinch a 4-2 shoot-out success for Argentina at the end of a thriller at Lusail Stadium, with goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez having saved Kingsley Coman’s attempt and seen Aurelien Tchouameni fire wide.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

France, aiming to become only the third side to ever retain the trophy, battled back from two goals down in normal time after Mbappe converted an 81st-minute penalty and scored a delightful volley 97 seconds later.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Messi had opened the scoring, before Angel Di Maria rounded off a stunning counter-attacking move, and the Albiceleste number 10 restored his side’s lead in the 108th minute, only for Mbappe to respond again two minutes before the end of extra time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

That teed up penalties, with both Mbappe and Messi converting before Argentina gave their captain a fitting World Cup farewell.<\/p>\n

\n

A bright Argentina start was rewarded when Messi calmly beat Hugo Lloris from the penalty spot in the 21st minute after Ousmane Dembele made contact on Di Maria in the box.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The second goal from Di Maria was sublime, as Messi played a fine flicked pass into the path of Julian Alvarez, who in turn played in Alexis Mac Allister to find the scorer on the far side.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But Didier Deschamps introduced Marcus Thuram and Randal Kolo Muani in a double change before half-time and both players made a telling impact.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

After initially toiling for much of the second half, France were gifted a penalty that Mbappe converted when Nicolas Otamendi dragged down Kolo Muani.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Mbappe, a peripheral figure until that point, then levelled up moments later with a powerful volley from Thuram’s pass.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Messi again looked to have won it for Argentina in extra time when reacting quickest to a saved Lautaro Martinez attempt, only for Paris Saint-Germain club-mate Mbappe to equalise once more through a penalty after his shot hit Montiel on the arm.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

Montiel would have the final say, though, with the help of Martinez, as Messi and Argentina ended their wait.<\/p>\n
