Mexico 1978 had been the last World-wide in which Argentina had bathed of gold, comandados by Diego Armando Maradona. 36 years afterwards, with Leo Messi by flag, the 'albiceleste' has achieved his third star in a historical final in the Lusail Iconic Stadium. 'The Flea', with an Angel gave María supreme and dress of leader, had been the first protagonists of a final that finish being a madness called suffering.
The football is a crazy history that does not be necessary to try understand it, because finally it will not have felt any. Argentina has achieved his third star in a party that has defined in penaltis, when the 'albiceleste' won, in the 78', with a difference of two goals. Mbappé, with a doublet that already is history of the country Frenchman, went back to put to the party to the ones of Didier Deschamps and give him felt to a final that, until this moment, was alone of the sudamericanos.
The 'film' had two parts, because of incio Lionel Scaloni won him the game to Didier Deschamps. It achieved to minimise the big fortresses of 'them bleus' so that his Argentinian signed, probably, the best party of the World-wide. Griezmann Became a viewer more, Dembélé (substituted before the 40') and Koundé paid expensive in front of the 'Angelito' and the midfield players were more watched -and tied- that never... Until it occurred the 'miracle' of Mbappé.
Argentina left the feeling of superiority from the first compasses of the meeting and found prize, with controversy to the 22 minutes. And it is that Ángel gave María, with an exhibition from the 1', recortó from the left, went of his mark and looked for to confine in the area in front of the coverage of Ousmane Dembélé, that touched him shyly. The attacker of the Juventus fell in the floor and signalled the penalti in favour without the intervention of the VAR.
Lionel Messi commissioned to convert in front of Hugo Lloris, deceiving it with his shot to the right, to give beginning to a party that followed ten minutes afterwards with a 'jugadón' of five touch to kill to France: Molina yielded to Julián Álvarez so that it opened to a Mac Alleister that controlled, heaved the look and saw to Gave María to filter him a lethal pass that allowed him beat to the guardameta of the Tottenham.
The command of the Argentinians continued being overwhelming in front of a France that did not achieve to shake neither the pressure neither, especially, the nerves. Didier Deschamps, that moved his alignment with two changes before the 40', was without answer in front of the plan of Scaloni that seemed not having margin of error and that, also, repeated after the resumption.
And it is that, far to play so that it did not move the marker, Argentina went out to look for the third. It brushed it in two clear occasions: with a shot of Rodrigo of Paúl that finish in hands of Lloris and another after a pass of Gave María to the heart of the area. The one of the Athletic of Madrid saw to Messi arriving in second line, but left to happen the balloon and the balloon finish above the three sticks.
To save of the goleada... To force the extention
France was lost, although had more the balloon in the second half, and was Lloris the one who was sustaining to the party in front of an Argentinian that, although no merodeaba permanently the French area, was having a lot of more clear opportunities. The one of Nice avoided the 3-0 after a pass to the space of Álvarez so that it ran Mac Allister, but took out the ball with a tackling.
When worse happened it, an error of Argentina put to France in the party: Kolo Muani won the position to Otamendi, changed of rhythm, stepped the area and saw to the of the Benfica put him the leg by behind so that Mbappé won a penalti, that converted with power in front of the 'Dibu' Martínez in the first finish between the three sticks of the French.... And to put beginning to a historical madness in Lusail.
And it is that France woke up in, specifically, ninety seconds: Again it appeared Kolo with a wall with Thuram to leave only to a Mbappé, that dressed of indisputable hero of all a country to win, again, to the guardameta Argentinian. The 'albiceleste' happened to feel champion, in 78', to have to live an authentic madness in the final minutes to finish going to the extention.
