It was a year ago today that the Argentina team of Lionel Scaloni and Lionel Messi conquered the French team led by Didier Deschamps and Kylian Mbappe.
Rarely ever do we see two of the best in the world face off in the final of a World Cup, but this was such an occasion – with one hoping to taste the glory of winning the trophy for the first time and the other looking to get a second helping.
Argentina took an early lead when Angel Di Maria was cut down in the penalty area by Ousmane Dembele – with Messi converting the spot kick to go up 1-0.
Just 13 minutes later, Di Maria managed a goal of his own after some brilliant build up play.
Julian Alvarez found Alexis Mac Allister streaking down the right flank before the now-Liverpool midfielder sent a perfectly slotted goal across for Di Maria to bury.
France prodded and prodded but could not find themselves a goal until Randal Kolo Muani was brought down by Nicolas Otamendi in the box for a penalty in the 80th minute.
