Messi, from a penalty 23 minutes into the first stage and Ángel Di María, at 36, put the Albiceleste team ahead, while Kylian Mbappé with a double, at 34 from a penalty and at 36, both in the complement, equalized for the cast European.
In extra time, Messi, 4 minutes into the second half, put the national team ahead again, but again Mbappé from twelve steps equalized it at 13 in the same period for France.
Already in the definition by penalties, Emiliano “Dibu” Martínez increased his image, by deflecting the Kingsley Coman penalty and forcing the error of Aurélien Tchouaméni so that he finished off his own.
Messi, Paulo Dybala, Leandro Paredes and Gonzalo Montiel converted their shots for Argentina, while Mbappé and Randal Kolo Muani did the same for France.
The National Team achieved the third World Cup title in its history, after the conquests of 1978 and 1986.
