| World Cup in the hands of Messi |
Is this the best final in the history of the World Cup? maybe Is this the best match in World Cup history? maybe
This was written by destiny. Lionel Messi will go to the World Cup, it is not as if. Drama after drama, a final test of nerve and perhaps the most incredible drama in World Cup history will end with Messi lifting the trophy. Argentina's 36-year wait for the world cup has ended. Who knows, maybe this will end the debate about the best footballer of all time. Many people were not willing to accept Messi as the best because the elusive trophy was not there, today the trophy that belongs to Raj is only Messi's.
Messi's double goal, Mbappe's hat-trick, Di Maria's goal combined to tie the game 3-3 at the end of extra time. Then the world champion Argentina won the tiebreaker 4-2.
When Gonzalo Montiel, who took Argentina's number four shot in the tiebreaker, fired a shot into the French net, the Lucille Stadium erupted in thunderous roars. Montiel covered his face in his jersey and began to cry. The Argentinian players on the field immediately became emotional after the euphoria. Tears began to fall from the eyes of almost everyone.
Messi cried. He was waiting for such a day since the 2006 World Cup. But the World Cup has repeatedly disappointed him. Eight years ago at the Maracana, they went so close but lost the final to Germany with an extra-time goal. But last night, Messi was not willing to go back empty-handed. And if Messi does not agree, who can return him!
Mbappe couldn't either. Scored a hat-trick, leading France to an incredible comeback from a near-miss. But in the end it was Emiliano 'Dibu' Martinez who proved to be the biggest obstacle to France's second consecutive World Cup win in the tiebreaker. France's first shot was blocked in the tiebreaker, France missed the next shot as well. Who knows, Argentina's name will be written in the World Cup trophy.
But at the end of the first hour, who thought that this match will go to extra time! Who would have thought this final would have to go to a tiebreaker. Until then, it can be said that France is not in the match. Not only are they behind by 2 goals, but it seems like they are not playing. The final is within a team. Whether this is going to be the most one-sided match of the World Cup or not, the discussion has already started.
