Argentina won the shootout 4-2 after a spectacular game which developed into the much-anticipated confrontation between the 35-year-old maestro Messi and his France opposite number Kylian Mbappe. France's own superstar scored a hat-trick - the first in a Fifa World Cup final since 1966 - but still ended up on the losing side at Lusail Stadium. Messi looked to be securing the one major honour missing from his glittering collection in comfort as Argentina cruised into a two-goal lead. This all changed when an explosive intervention from Mbappe, who scored two goals inside two minutes late on, turned this frantic, magnificent match for the ages on its head. Messi had given Argentina the lead from the penalty spot in the 23rd minute following Ousmane Dembele's foul on Angel di Maria.

He then contributed a delicate touch within a magnificent counter-attack that ended with Brighton's Alexis Mac Allister setting up Di Maria for the second 13 minutes later. • 'Now hard to argue against Messi being football's greatest' • World Football in Qatar podcast: Argentina rejoices as Messi matches Maradona • 'Breathless, staggering and magnificent' - was final one of best ever? • Messi's World Cup trophy lift provides iconic image Messi lifts the World Cup trophy for Argentina Argentina were untroubled until the closing stages, only for Mbappe t...

We could spend this whole article explaining why this ranks among the greatest games in the history of sport, whether it’s the 1999 Champions League final or 1976 NBA Finals Game 6 or Super Bowl 43 or Game 6 at the 1975 World Series or the Kentucky-Duke overtime thriller in the 1992 NCAA Tournament or (insert your own choice here). Instead, we will stick with this: This was the greatest World Cup game, ever.
