On Sunday, December 18, 2022, the sky of Qatar was painted white and blue. Argentina won the FIFA World Cup 2022 after a massive gap of 36 years. The match was indeed a nail-biter, with a 3-3 draw and Argentina winning the match, 4-2 during the penalty shootouts.
France was no less. Les Blues gave a tough fight to the South American winners. Kylian Mbappé single-handedly drove France towards the tied match. He took the field by force when he scored the first penalty goal and then his second in the 81st minute. The stadium became quiet when he scored his third in the 118th minute. No one will argue that the French competed with equal tenacity during yesterday’s match. The 2022 FIFA World Cup win was the third for Argentina after 1978 and 1986. Messi earlier announced that this would be his last game for Argentina. However, after winning the World Cup 2022, Messi promised to return for the 2026 World Cup.
Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé, Olivier Giroud and Martinez Emiliano received awards for their performance during the Qatar World Cup 2022 at the Lusail Stadium. The award categories included Golden Boot, Golden Glove, Golden Ball, Young Player and Fair Play awards.
