Argentina vs France Highlights: Lionel Messi-starrer Argentina on Sunday won their third ever World Cup trophy as the Copa America 2021 winners outclassed two-time World Cup winners France 4-2 on penalties in FIFA World Cup final at jam-packed Lusail Iconic Stadium.
By the end of first half, Argentina had a commanding 2-0 lead over formidable France but Mbappe's remarkable brace brought France back level in a dramatic twist and took the summit clash into extra-time. Messi and Mbappe scored one goal each in extra time to keep scores tied 3-3 so that the match could be decided in the penalty shootout. Argentina won the penalty shootout 4-2 to win their third FIFA World Cup title.
France striker Kylian Mbappe scored a dream hat-trick in the final but his heroics went in vain which saw him being mocked by Argentine goalkeeper Emi Martinez during Argentina's celebration inside their dressing room.
A twitter handle by the name @Football_Tweet tweeted a video with the caption: "Emiliano Martinez asking for a minute of silence for Kylian Mbappé in the middle of Argentina's dressing room celebrations.."
Speaking of his team's performance after winning the 2022 FIFA World Cup final, Martinez said that it was his team's destiny to win the most-coveted title Qatar.
"It was a very complicated match, they came back to equalise in the game but it was our destiny to suffer," said the Aston Villa keeper.
"All that I have dreamed of has been achieved. I have no words for it. I was calm during the penalty shoot-out, and everything went as we wanted.
"left very young for England. I dedicate this victory to all my family."
