The victory marks Argentina's third World Cup triumph and crowns Lionel Messi's illustrious career with the most coveted trophy in football.

Messi, the Argentinian captain and talisman, played a pivotal role throughout the tournament and was at the heart of his team's success. The 35-year-old forward netted twice in the final, including a stunning goal in extra time that put Argentina back in the lead. He also converted his penalty kick in the shootout, helping his team seal the victory.

The final was a pulsating affair with both teams displaying attacking prowess and creating numerous scoring opportunities. Argentina took an early lead through Messi's penalty, but France's Kylian Mbappé equalized with a blistering volley just moments later. The game swung back and forth, with Argentina regaining the advantage through Ángel Di María before Mbappé sensationally scored twice in the final 10 minutes, including a dramatic equalizer in the dying seconds of normal time, to force extra time.

In the extra period, Messi once again broke the deadlock with a sublime finish, but Mbappé completed his hat-trick with a penalty, taking the game to a thrilling shootout. Argentina ultimately held their nerve, with goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez saving Kingsley Coman's penalty and Aurélien Tchouaméni blasting his shot wide, giving the Albiceleste their third World Cup title.
