The 2022 World Cup final in Qatar has become what many will term the greatest world cup finals of recent times.
It was more of a match between Lionel Messi of Argentina and Kylian Mbappe of France, as they struggled to make a name for themselves and for their country, with Mbappe fighting to defend the trophy they won in 2018 and Messi fighting to lay an unarguable claim of being the player of the tournament and of all times.
It is assumed to be Lionel Messi’s last appearance in the world cup for his country as he fought hard to become the greatest player of all times, winning in all tournaments, both international and at club levels just like his country man, late Diego Maradona in Mexico 1986.
The exhilarating match between France and Argentina ended at a full time of 120 minutes with 3 goals on both sides while Argentina won 4-2 on penalties.
The grand farewell which was held at Lusail stadium had about 89,000 spectators while billions watched from different places across the world.
Lionel Messi has become the first player to win the two Golden Ball awards, having won the first in 2014. Enzo Fernandez won FIFA young player award while Emiliano Martinez, all from Argentina won the Golden Glove trophy as the tournament’s best keeper. France Mbappe’s hat-trick won the golden boot with eight goals.
