Speaker A

You see, the 2022 World Cup final was extra significant for many reasons. Many fans of Lionel Messi and Argentinian football in general saw this as the very last dance. Messi was already 35. He was not going to have a better chance to win the World Cup again, the one trophy that was missing from his cabinet.

Messi and his men had started their journey on the wrongest foot, shockingly losing to underdog Saudi Arabia in the opening game of the tournament. But they managed to turn things around, winning their last two group games to top their group and make it to the knockout stages.

Speaker A

The knockouts weren't easy. They were really tested by Australia in the round of 16, and then in the quarterfinals, they were involved in what was perhaps the most violent match in World Cup history, which eventually had to be settled on penalties. But then they cruised past Croatia in the semis to book a place in the final for the first time since 2014.

Speaker A

then they managed to break the duck in 2021 winning their first major trophy in 28 years and they quickly followed it up with the finalis so going into that final they had some hope but that hope was perhaps a little deflated when they

Speaker A

You see, apart from the fact that it was likely Messi's last final, there was also some pressure on Argentina because they had not won the World Cup in 36 years. They also had a pretty bad record in finals, having lost all of the last four finals they had played before 2021. But then they managed to break the duck in 2021, winning their first major trophy in 28 years, and they quickly followed it up with the final. So, going into that final, they had some hope.

Speaker A

2018 France trampled over Argentina these two football Giants met in the round of 16 and a teenage mbappe absolutely ran Riot on the south Americans he scored two goals and won a penalty and was very easily the man of

Speaker A

But that hope was perhaps a little deflated when they found out that they would be going up against France. Now, apart from the fact that France were the reigning world champions, Argentina personally did not have a good experience with them. On their way to becoming world champions in 2018, France trampled over Argentina. These two football giants met in the round of 16, and a teenage Mbappé absolutely ran riot on the South Americans. He scored two goals, won a penalty, and was very easily the man of the match.

Speaker A

so they went into the game brimming with a lot of Hope and positivity and things got off to the best possible start they could think of Argentina were on top from the very beginning peppering Yugo loris's goal with shot after shot and

Speaker A

Four years later, Argentina found out that they'd be facing France with a better and now more experienced Mbappé in the biggest game of their lives. Of course, they'll be frightened, but then they had the GOAT on their side. So they went into the game brimming with a lot of hope and positivity, and things got off to the best possible start they could think of.

Speaker A

Argentina were on top from the very beginning, peppering Hugo Lloris's goal with shot after shot. And then, in the 23rd minute, Argentina were awarded a penalty for a pretty soft foul from Dembélé on Di María. Messi stepped up and converted. 1-0 Argentina.

Speaker A

out to be a walk in the park for them at halime not only were they two- nil up they were in total control of the entire game they had more possession and had nullified the Europeans completely France did not manage to create a single

Speaker A

But there's really no Argentina final party if Di María hasn't scored. He scored in the Olympics final in 2008, the Copa America final in 2021, and now in 2022. He stepped up for his customary final goal. In the 36th minute, it was a brilliant sequence of play from Argentina, and the former PSG man arrived at the perfect time to get to the end of a beautiful Messi pass and send the ball past Lloris. 2-0 already in the first half.

Speaker A

Marcus thuram and Randal Kum wani he hoped those changes would help him turn the game around but when they came out for the second half things practically remained the same Argentina continued to Pepper France's goal while simultaneously shutting them down

Speaker A

Argentina were in dreamland. They expected this game to be one of the toughest games of their entire lives, but it was turning out to be a walk in the park for them. At halftime, not only were they 2-0 up, they were in total control of the entire game. They had more possession and had nullified the Europeans completely.

Speaker A

show they started to dive into tackles and commit unnecessary fouls this led to Adrien rabiot being shown a yellow card just 10 minutes into the second period but still nothing changed at this point with a two-goal lead Argentinian fans

Speaker A

France did not manage to create a single big chance or even attempt a shot throughout the first half. Things were so bad in the France camp that Didier Deschamps was forced to make two changes even before halftime. He took off Ousmane Dembélé and Usman Dembélé and replaced them with Marcus Thuram and Randal Kolo Muani. He hoped those changes would help him turn the game around.

Speaker A

point shut down everywhere and protect the lead but that soon turned out to be a very bad decision anyway France also made changes taking off Griezmann and Theo Hernandez to bring on kman and kaminga in the 71st minute that still

Speaker A

But when they came out for the second half, things practically remained the same. Argentina continued to pepper France's goal while simultaneously shutting them down defensively. Lloris was called upon to make saves from shots from De Paul and Álvarez early in the second half, while France still could not hit the target.

Speaker A

Nicholas otamendi the Frenchman appeared to have outmuscled the Argentine Center back and then otamendi brought him down in the Box penalty who stepped up of course it was Killian mbappe he and his teammates had not managed a single shot

Speaker A

At this point, the defending champions were getting frustrated, and it started to show. They started to dive into tackles and commit unnecessary fouls. This led to Adrien Rabiot being shown a yellow card just 10 minutes into the second period. But still, nothing changed.

Speaker A

easy because Martinez went the right way and even got a hand to the ball but the shot from mbappe was so fast and so powerful that it found its way into the back of the net 80 minutes on the clock

Speaker A

At this point, with a two-goal lead, Argentinian fans started to feel like they could touch the trophy. The coach even started to think about managing the lead, so he took off Di María in the 64th minute and brought in Marcos Acuña, a defender. It was obvious what he wanted to do at this point: shut down everywhere and protect the lead. But that soon turned out to be a very bad decision.

Speaker A

blur were back Argentinian fans started to bite their nails but they had shown defensive solidity in the past so surely they could hold their slender lead for 10 minutes right wrong they could not even hold the lead for one minute the

Speaker A

Anyway, France also made changes, taking off Griezmann and Theo Hernandez to bring on Kolo Muani and Kamavinga in the 71st minute. That still didn't have a quick effect on the game. Argentina continued to dominate. They were on cruise mode until they were hit with their first turbulence of the night.

Speaker A

goals we've seen in a World Cup final he voled the ball Beyond Martinez and dragged France back into the game Peter Drury called him an awesome force of nature a bee oh wow he is an awesome force of Nature and

Speaker A

In the 79th minute, Mbappé sent a ball through to Kulusevski, who got in a duel with Nicolás Otamendi. The Frenchman appeared to have outmuscled the Argentine center back, and then Otamendi brought him down in the box. Penalty. Who stepped up? Of course, it was Kylian Mbappé.

Speaker A

ended up losing it at the very end take your pick there was not one fan of lonel Messi all Argentinian football in the world who wasn't shivering at that moment yes mbappe had been quite for much of the game but when he chose to

Speaker A

He and his teammates had not managed a single shot on target all game, but with just 10 minutes left on the clock, they were offered a shot at redemption. But then Mbappé was up against a penalty specialist in Emiliano Martínez, so it was not going to be easy.

Speaker A

nightmare if they lost it all in the last 10 minutes and they very nearly thought they did when thuram went down in the Box argentinians had hearts in mouths at that moment but the referee had a good view of it and blew a free

Speaker A

Well, indeed it wasn't easy because Martínez went the right way and even got a hand to the ball, but the shot from Mbappé was so fast and so powerful that it found its way into the back of the net. 80 minutes on the clock, 2-1, game on.

Speaker A

to snatching it for Argentina with a shot from outside the box but Loris was able to make a brilliant save so the game went to extra time just like it did the last time Argentina were in the World Cup final to be on top for 80

Speaker A

Now the Argentinians were a little shaken. They had managed to lock France up for the vast majority of the game, but Otamendi lost his head for a quick second, and with just their first shot on target of the entire game, Les Bleus were back.

Speaker A

things returned to normal Argentina were back to dictating the Temple of the game they created two big chances but both of them were squandered by lataro Martinez who had come in in the 103rd minute for Julian Alvarez anyway no goal was scored

Speaker A

Argentinian fans started to bite their nails, but they had shown defensive solidity in the past, so surely they could hold their slender lead for 10 minutes, right? Wrong. They could not even hold the lead for one minute.

Speaker A

Martinez's shot on target was spilled by Loris and Messi was perfectly placed to pounce kundai tried to clear the ball from off the line but he was too late the ball had already crossed the line Argentina were back in the lead surely

Speaker A

The very next minute after France's goal, Messi was robbed in the middle of the pitch by Kolo Muani, and he started a French attack which ended up with a cute little give and go between Mbappé and Kamavinga. And boom, Mbappé had produced one of the best goals we've seen in a World Cup final.

Speaker A

Coman corner and he attempted a shot on that shot was blocked by Gonzalo Montiel but he used his arm so a penalty was awarded to France 2 minutes to the end of extra time mbappe stepped up again could he score two penalties against the

Speaker A

He volleyed the ball beyond Martínez and dragged France back into the game. Peter Drury called him an awesome force of nature. "A-B-E-O-W, he is an awesome force of nature," and I just couldn't agree more.

Speaker A

books and he wanted to complete his job by bringing the trophy home as well so he kept going he sent in across to colani but the striker missed the header by a hair's breath he also tried to dribble in from the left like he always

Speaker A

Surely at this point, Argentinian fans started to have so many flashbacks: 2018, when Mbappé scored twice and sent them packing, or 2014, when they were in control for so long in the final against Germany but ended up losing it at the very end. Take your pick.

Speaker A

at this point Argentina was sick of the sight of mbappe anytime he had the ball the entire country had Shivers run down their spine but before then there was that moment kumani had the entire world at his feet and the fate of millions in

Speaker A

There was not one fan of Lionel Messi, all Argentinian football in the world, who wasn't shivering at that moment. Yes, Mbappé had been quiet for much of the game, but when he chose to rise, he was the scariest thing ever.

Speaker A

coo moani put the ball in the back of the net but somehow unbelievably inexplicably UNF ably Annie Martinez pulled off one of the greatest saves we have ever seen in a World Cup game everyone who saw that knew they were

Speaker A

After his 81st-minute equalizer, the entire nation of Argentina trembled each time Mbappé touched the ball. They were begging for extra time. They had been on top the entire game, and it would be a nightmare if they lost it all in the last 10 minutes.

Speaker A

stepped up first for France yes that same guy Killian mbappe could he really put three penalties past any Martinez in the same game you bet he could he beat Martinez from the spot three times in one game not many players can boast of

Speaker A

And they very nearly thought they did when Thuram went down in the box. Argentinians had hearts in mouths at that moment, but the referee had a good view of it and blew a free kick for Argentina, showing Thuram a yellow card for diving.

Speaker A

Argentina champions of the world they had to work for this particular trophy artina managed to come out as winners but Kylie and mbappe made an entire nation shiver from minute 80 to minute 120 what a day that was guys
