This World Cup final was a game that seemed to defy comprehension, conventions and any attempt to describe it.
How could anything capture the sound in the stadium when Lionel Messi lifted the World Cup trophy? Or the calmness with which Kylian Mbappé slotted a penalty to equalize in extra time? It was – as the world seemed to settle on in an attempt to sum it all up – simply the greatest final ever. “Best World Cup Final ever,” Usain Bolt tweeted alongside pictures of himself in an Argentina jersey at Lusail Stadium. “We’re breathless up here. It was just an unbelievable final.
France’s Kingsley Coman saw his spot kick saved by Emiliano Martínez, who was named as the tournament’s best goalkeeper, and Aurélien Tchouaméni pulled his effort wide before Gonzalo Montiel secured Argentina’s third World Cup title and a first since 1986.
