The star of the tournament was captain Lionel Messi, who performed brilliantly throughout the tournament. Lionel Messi scored twice for Argentina in the final. The first goal is from a penalty. Messi’s second goal came in the 108th minute of extra time. It was also the goal that put Argentina ahead 3-2. But a group of soccer fans stressed after the game that this goal shouldn’t have lasted and that Argentina shouldn’t have conceded that goal.
Messi’s second goal came in the second half of extra time. A group of football fans say that before Messi completed this goal, two substitutes from Argentina entered the field and this goal cannot be granted. They strongly argue that Argentina’s substitutes entered the field to celebrate before the ball crossed the goal line and therefore the goal should have been disallowed. But fans balked at this argument.
At the same time, the France-Argentina final had all the excitement of a final. The back-to-back match was also one of the best World Cup finals of all time. Argentina took the lead through Lionel Messi’s 23rd-minute penalty and Angel Di Maria extended his lead in the 36th minute. France’s spectacular comeback came as supporters were confident Argentina would secure a 2-0 victory in the match.
Young superstar Kylian Mbappe was France’s hero. Mbappé scored from an 80th-minute penalty and scored again in the next minute to put France into the match. Lionel Messi’s (debated) 108th-minute goal gave Argentina the lead, but Mbappé’s 118th-minute strike restored France level. With the game tied after extra time, a penalty shootout ensued. Argentina defeated France 4-2 on penalties, the world champions.
