In addition, this is their third World Cup trophy after previously winning in the 1978 and 1986 editions.
Argentina actually took a 2-0 lead in the first half. In the 21st minute, Argentina was awarded a penalty after Ousmane Dembele fouled Angel Di Maria in the penalty box.
Lionel Messi who became the executioner, tricked Hugo Lloris. The score also changed 1-0 for Argentina's advantage.

Di Maria added the advantage in the 36th minute through a counter-attack scheme. Starting from Messi's pass to Julian Alvarez, the ball was then offered to Alexis Ma the Allister who stood free from control.
Not selfish, Mac Allister then provided a beautiful pass to Di Maria who finished with a deadly left foot kick. Lloris was helpless. The score of 2-0 for Argentina lasted until the break.
In the second half, France took the lead in possession. However, the players of Les Bleus seemed confused in dismantling the tight defense from Argentina.
However, the deadlock finally broke out in the 79th minute. Otamendi's violation of substitute Randal Kolo Muani resulted in a penalty.
Mbappe, who became the executor, did not waste the opportunity to make his team reduce the position to 2-1.
Only one minute after the penalty goal, Mbappe broke into the Argentina goal which was escorted by Emiliano Martinez.
This time through an open game. Receiving Marcus Thuram's pass which entered in the second half, the Paris Saint-Germain player broke into the opponent's goal with a right foot kick and half volley.

In extra time, Scaloni played Leandro Paredes and Lautaro Martinez. As a result, La Albiceleste's front line was dangerous again.

Argentina finally took the lead again in the 108th men. Messi scored his second goal after utilizing a ball from Martinez's shot which was blocked by Lloris.
Unfortunately for Argentina, Gonzalo Montiel was caught by the referee doing handball in the penalty box in the 116th minute. Mbappe, who returned to the executioner, returned to his duties perfectly. The score was again drawn 3-3.
