Africa-Press – Angola. <\/strong><\/span>Lionel Messi has led Argentina to World Cup victory after beating France on penalties.<\/b><\/p>\n

This was in one of the most thrilling climaxes in the World Cup tournament\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

Argentina looked to have thrown the trophy away, after Kylian Mbappe scored twice in the last 10 minutes to take the tie into extra time, after a Messi penalty and a sweeping finish from Angel di Maria had seen the Argentines 2-0 up in the first half.<\/p>\n

Messi however restored their lead in the extra period, before Mbappe stunned the South Americans again from the penalty spot to force a shootout with his third \u2013 the first hat-trick in a World Cup final since 1966.<\/p>\n

Kingsley Coman had his penalty saved by Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano MArtinez, and Aurelien Tchouameni then missed the target, allowing Gonzalo Montiel fire home the winner and spark incredible scenes.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the game, Kylian Mbappe bagged a brace in the space of 90 seconds to draw France level from two goals down against Argentina in the 2022 World Cup final.<\/p>\n

A Lionel Messi penalty and a Angel Di Maria effort had put the Albiceleste in complete control of an eagerly-anticipated encounter with Les Bleus.<\/p>\n

However, the defending champions were handed a lifeline when Nicolas Otamendi conceded a spot-kick in the 80th minute.<\/p>\n

After converting from 12 yards, Paris Saint-Germain superstar Mbappe completed a stunning fightback as he restored parity moments later with a superb finish.<\/p>\n
