There is a reason why football is called a beautiful game. And the FIFA World Cup 2022 final between Argentina and France proved that. Calling the match a thrilling encounter would be an understatement. It had everything. From nail-biting twists to close saves, the world, once again, witnessed the magic of football. And, oh boy. It was worth every moment.
Lionel Messi, who had announced that the tournament in Qatar will be his last, couldn't have asked for a better finish. He finished the tournament with seven goals. The 35-year-old has also become the only player to win the Golden Ball - the 'Player of the Tournament' award - twice. Meanwhile, Mbappe, who kept Argentina fans on their toes with his footwork, won the Golden Boot award. He also became the second player ever to score a hat-trick in a World Cup final.
