Ariel Montiel scored the winning spot kick which brought all the Argentina fans present in the stadium into a rupture as they cheered for their heroes. Messi scored twice for Argentina. He scored the first goal via a penalty and then came back and scored another one in the 109th minute.

The young coach of Argentina Lionel Scaloni could not control his emotions after Argentina won the World Cup. His eyes were heavy, and he broke down in tears when the landmark moment happened.

Messi has got the big tag of being called the World Cup champion after Argentina triumphed over France and he has got his hands on the prized trophy after winning a Copa America title recently. They beat Brazil in the final to get their hands on that trophy. He has also won a number of La Liga titles as well. At 36 years of age, he has got such poise and grace when he plays the sport.

He also was awarded the Golden ball for his fine performance, and he came second in the Golden Boot to Mbappe. France could not repeat their heroics in the 2018 World Cup final as they could not beat Argentina when it came to penalties as Albiceleste held their composure in the crunch moments and saw their team through.
