Argentina added a third FIFA World Cup title to their trophy cabinet when they beat France in the final of the 2022 edition on Sunday. Argentina beat France on penalties in a final for the ages, triumphing 4-2 in the shoot-out after Kylian Mbappe's hat-trick ensured the game ended level at 3-3 following extra time. Messi opened the scoring with a penalty midway through the first half before Angel Di Maria doubled Argentina's lead on the counter-attack in the 36th minute. But the astonishing Mbappe breathed life into the holders as he pulled one back from the spot with 10 minutes left before equalising in stunning fashion just 60 seconds later to force extra time.
His prediction came perfectly true.
