Argentina wins World Cup 2022
Before bursting in happiness, Lionel Messi and his teammates were constantly teased by fate in the two main periods as well as extra time. Argentina led 2-0, then let Kylian Mbappe score twice in the 80th and 82nd minutes, although France had almost no chance before that. In extra time, Messi helped Argentina get ahead, but Mbappe once again scored, equalizing 3-3. Despite continuing to shine in the penalty shootout, Mbappe is not the last to enjoy the glory at the 2022 World Cup. Goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez played brilliantly in the brainstorming series, helping Messi win the World Cup for the first time.
The World Cup, which is considered the best in history, witnessed the ending that couldn't be more dramatic. In the last minute of extra time, France came close to the decisive goal, when Kolo Muani faced Martinez in an empty position. The brilliant save with the foot of the Argentine goalkeeper helped the South American representative escape defeat, then opened the opportunity to counterattack later. But at more than five meters, Lautaro Martinez headed out. Just a few dozen seconds later, Mbappe broke through from the edge through two Argentine defenders, having a favorable opportunity in the penalty area. Enzo Fernandez, the best young player of the tournament, was the one who prevented the French superstar from scoring his fourth goal in the final.
