ARG 3 (4)– (2) 3 FRA (FT) | Argentina vs France FIFA World Cup 2022 Final Result and Highlights: Argentina Beat France, Win FIFA World Cup 2022 On Penalties!

Argentina are FIFA World Cup 2022 champions and what a tournament it has been for them. They emulated Spain's 2010 feat as they went on to win the tournament after losing the first match. It was Lionel Messi's last World Cup and Argentina played for him, played for the fans who came in numbers to support them. Argentina have added a third World Cup title to their cabinet. France on the other hand, might have lost but they witnessed the rise of a legend-in-the-making in Kylian Mbappe. He should be enormously proud of his performance. Argentina, are FIFA World Cup 2022 champions! 

What a game this has been and surely, surely one of the best games in World Cup history! Argentina had it won but Kylian Mbappe produced one of the best-ever performances in the competition with a sensational hattrick. After a crazy 120 minutes of football, it took penalties to decide the winner and Emiliano Martinez once again starred with a good show in front of goal. Eventually, Lionel Messi has added the one trophy that was missing from his cabinet and he will end his Wordl Cup career on a massive high! One has to feel for France and it should be mentioned that they did not go down without a fight! Argentina players will celebrate long and hard into the night. No one expected them to win the FIFA World Cup 2022 trophy after losing to Saudi Arabia in their first match. But history has been scripted and Diego Maradona is perhaps looking up from Heaven and cherishing this moment! 1978. 1986 and now 2022. A third star on Argentina's shirt!
