?1978, 1986 and now in 2022! Argentina have clinched their third FIFA World Cup title in an emphatic finale, which was truly worthy of being the decider.
?As a tweet beautifully captured it, “Last time Argentina won the world cup, Messi was 1. Today, he was the one!”
⚽️Messi took control of the game early on and kept growing as the game progressed, helping his side go 2-0 up and later, 3-2 up. Mbappe matched Messi with his brilliance as he scored a hattrick, become only the 5th player to do so in a FIFA World Cup final, though it wasn’t enough on the day. Messi lost the Golden Boot but claimed the Golden
Ball.
? Emi Martinez was up for the challenge too, as he not only made some remarkable saves in regulation time but was splendid in the shoot-out as well, yet again, claiming the Golden Glove.
?Mbappe showcased he is ready to lead the next era of football and has achieved a lot already at just 23 and ended the World Cup with something to cheer for- Golden Boot
?Enzo Fernandes was another key member of the Argentine midfield and packed a punch, which saw him emerge as the Young Player of the tournament.
Over to Christmas celebrations, followed by some Boxing Day football!
