How the world reacted to ‘the best World Cup final ever’
The Argentina attack paid off midway through the first half. Argentina forward Ángel Di María scooted past France's Ousmane Dembélé who tripped him in the box and won a penalty kick.
With the goal, Messi became the first man to score in every game of a World Cup knockout round in a single tournament (round of 16, quarterfinal, semifinal and final).
Maybe dreams do come true. Maybe stories can have their fairytale endings. Maybe it was written that Argentina would be two goals up against the world champions and then pegged back in 97 seconds at the end of normal time, and then think they had won it all over again.
That they would come through a World Cup final for the ages – 2-2 in normal time, 3-3 in extra-time – on penalties, that Messi would after all not be denied. Not by Kylian Mbappe’s heroic hat-trick, not by France, not apparently by cruel fate either.
The tears flowed, on the pitch and in the stands. Perhaps all around the footballing world, which in the build-up to Sunday’s final seemed to unite behind not a country, but one man.
Messi hails from Argentina, had gone to Europe by age 13 and is back now at 35 as their leader, their lightning in a bottle, their last hope for a first World Cup crown in 36 years. A third overall.
