"But to be honest, I am focused on the present. What happened before is the past. We want to write our own story. We want to end this in the best possible way.

LUSAIL, Qatar—Over more than 15 years in professional soccer, Lionel Messi had become a champion of nearly everything. He won every major club competition available to him at least once. And he had taken soccer’s highest individual prize, the Ballon d’Or, a record seven times. Messi was so good for so long that even without a World Cup, he had a claim on being the sport’s greatest of all time. It only took one of the hardest matches of his career to get there. On a night of wild drama—that veered from exhilaration to frustration and back again—Messi’s Argentina coughed up a 2-0 lead in the final 10 minutes of regulation, came back to lead 3-2 in extra time before being caught again at 3-3, before finally prevailing 4-2 on a penalty shootout. Argentina, believe it or not, has been in the spot before, coughing up 2-0 leads in World Cup matches before coming back to win. It happened most recently against the Netherlands in the quarterfinals, when they conceded in the 11th minute of stoppage time on a now legendary trick play, only to win in a penalty shootout. But just as dramatic was the 1986 World Cup final in Mexico City. Argentina was 2-0 up with 16 minutes to play before West Germany scored twice in eight minutes. The crazy thing that night was that Argentina still settled the match in regulation. Three minutes after the German equalizer by Rudi Voller, Jorge Burruchaga put Diego Maradona’s Argentina back in front, winning the nation its second World Cup. Two minutes of ...

It was a consecration, the spiritual overtones entirely appropriate. Argentina had to win this final three times, France refusing to accept it was Messi’s destiny to get his hands on the iconic gold trophy, that it was somehow preordained. It will go down as surely the finest World Cup final of all time, the most pulsating, one of the greatest games in history because of how Thank you for your feedback. A part of the story was France’s champion courage, the 2018 winners being revived by a clutch of Didier Deschamps substitutions. That and Mbappé, who was unplayable from the 80th minute. He scored twice in 97 seconds to force extra-time; the first a penalty, the second a sublime side-on volley and there was a point towards the end of regulation time when he appeared hell-bent on making sure that the additional period would not be needed. Back came Argentina in extra-time, Messi scoring his second for 3-2. But back came France, Mbappé equalising with a second penalty on 118 minutes for his hat-trick and the Golden Boot. He finished the tournament with eight – one more than Messi. He joined Sir Geoff Hurst as a hat-trick scorer in the men’s final.

Randal Kolo Muani, on as a substitute for the game of his life, could not stretch to head home a cross byMbappé and will have nightmares ab...
