Lionel Messi has finally done it. <\/p>\n

Argentina<\/u> won the 2022 FIFA World Cup<\/u> on Sunday, defeating France<\/u> in penalty kicks in one of the most dramatic matches in the history of the sport. After a 3-3 tie through extra time, Argentina won 4-2 in penalty kicks.<\/p>\n

Messi scored twice in the match, including a goal in the 108th minute that appeared to win it for Argentina. However, Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 scored on a penalty kick in the 118th minute to complete the hat trick. Mbapp\u00e9 had previously scored two goals in two minutes to even the match in the 81st minute. <\/p>\n

In penalty kicks, Argentinian goalie Emiliano Martinez made a stop in the second round and Aur\u00e9lien Tchouam\u00e9ni’s penalty kick went wide in the third round, proving to be the difference in the match. <\/p>\n

With the win, Messi won his first World Cup and will likely go out a champion as he’s indicated this will be his final World Cup. <\/p>\n

Here’s everything that happened in Sunday’s classic. <\/p>\n
