The match, in which Argentina took an early lead, came alive after French striker Kylian Mbappe powered his team’s stunning comeback with two goals with hardly a pause in between. What followed was an intense extra time, at the finish of which the two teams remained tied at 3-3. The match was concluded exclusively during a penalty shootout in which Argentina edged past the French side. The Argentine keeper saved two penalties from the Frenchmen.

Messi, Mbapppe and FIFA World Cup final were among the top social media trends last evening as people tracked the match and searched for information about the players and teams.
