Messi was the star of the show at the Lusail stadium as he scored a brace in a game that Albiceleste dominated. The 35-year-old scored the opening goal of the final in the 23rd minute from a penalty. Angel di Maria would then extend the lead in the 36th minute after finishing off an incredible move that was started by Messi.

Messi, in his 16th and most likely last attempt, starred for Albiceleste. Argentina was on top in the first-half, with Messi scoring the opening goal in 23rd minute from penalty and few minutes later veteran Angel di Maria doubled Argentina's lead in the 36th minute. It seemed Argentina would seal an easy win until Kylian Mbappe's dramatic brace forced the summit clash into extra time. Messi scored one the most precious goals of his entire career in the 108th minute to give his team 32 lead but once again Mbappe struck in the 118th minute to force the game into penalties. All of Argentina's penalty takers scored back-to-back goals, without missing the target to ensure their team secure a 3rd FIFA World Cup trophy on Sunday.
