It is pertinent to mention that it is Argentina’s first World Cup title since 1986, and third overall.
Argentina Keeper Emiliano saved Kingsley Coman’s penalty, while Aurelien Tchouameni fired wide to give Argentina the crown.
Meanwhile, France had come from two goals down to level over 90 minutes with Kylian Mbappe scoring twice in two minutes, including an 80th minute penalty.
The France striker was able to complete his hat-trick in the 118th-minute with another spot-kick after Argentina’s Lionel Messi had tapped in for 3-2 lead in the 109th.
Argentina had gone 2-0 up in the first half with Messi, making a record-breaking 26th World Cup appearance, converting a 23rd-minute penalty.
They struck again with a sublime four-pass counter-attack as Alexis Mac Allister’s cutback found Angel Di Maria and he finished well.
