The FIFA World Cup ended on Sunday night, where the defending Champion, France, and two times World Cup winner, Argentina, faced each other to battle for the Cup.
One of the Best Word Cup Finals
The game was one of the best Word Cup finals, where unbelievable scenes happened and can never be forgotten.
It started with Argentina leading 2-0 into the 80th minute. The game changed with Mbappe converting a penalty after Kolo Muani was brought down in the box.
Then, a few minutes later, Mbappe found the net again to make it 2-2 and send the game to extra time.
They played another 20 minutes, and both teams scored one goal each to finish 3-3. Messi and Mbappe found the net.
Eventually, the game was decided by a penalty shootout, and France could not defend the title, losing on a penalty by 4-2 to Argentina.
