In a rather tight match to claim the World Cup football championship tonight, Argentina defeated France 4 -2 in a penalty shoot out to win the championship for the third time ever!
The men of the match - Argentina's Lionel Messi and France's Kylian Mbappe scored twice and a hat-trick respectively as the finals finished 3-3 after extra time at Lusail Stadium in Qatar.
The match further raised both Mbappe and Messi - as the latter is retiring from active football as a world champion whereas Mbappe's brand and football career has been raised further.
By now, it should be readily apparent to football lovers that Messi long established himself as the greatest player of his generation.
