Victorious Argentina held aloft the hallowed FIFA World Cup trophy last night before a packed house of 88,966 inside a resplendent Lusail Stadium, drawing the curtain on an epic, unforgettable and unprecedented tournament. Goals. Drama. Legacy-altering performances. This one had them all.
The final between holders France and inspired Argentina, with the South Americans backed by their huge contingent of fervent supporters in the stadium and countless millions across the world, also produced a showdown between the tournament’s star players, Kylian Mbappé and Lionel Messi.
