Two goals for Messi and hat-trick for France's Mbappe; Di Maria with other Argentina goal
Kylian Mbappe
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AND HAT-TRICK FOR MBAPPE!!!!!!
I'm out of superlatives!
Mbappe tucks away the spot-kick. France simply refuse to lay down and let Argentina take this trophy from them!
Mbappe has a World Cup final treble - the first since Hurst in '66 - and France are still standing!
Argentina 3-2 France
NO WAY! WOULD YOU BELIEVE IT!
The corner is cleared and falls to Kylian Mbappe, who shoots and sees his effort blocked by the arm of an Argentine player in the box.
It's all on Mbappe....

The superb Alexis Mac Allister is replaced by German Pezzella. Some height to repel the French.

Five minutes left.
France win a corner.
Argentina make a change first, though...

Varane has left it all out there and that's all you can do in the biggest game in the world. I feel for him.

This is a horrid tackle!
Eduardo Camavinga is halted by a vicious sliding challenge from Leandro Paredes. He takes the yellow for his side in the most cynical way.

The Lionel Messi World Cup.
Unless anything else happens in the next few minutes, it will go down as his tournament.
Iconic.

The Argentina substitutes are trying to get the crowd going even more. I don't think they need any encouragement to be fair.

Raphael Varane is done. Absolutely blowing.
On comes Ibrahima Konate to replace him in the France defence.
Argentina 3-2 France
Lionel Messi has scored his seventh goal in the 2022 World Cup, the most by any Argentina player in the competition, overtaking Mario Kempes in 1978 (six goals).

He's celebrated with all four corners.
It is by inches. Everyone was up. What a moment.

The goal was celebrated loudly enough first time around, but when the big screen showed replays - and it was clear it wasn't going to be ruled out - the roar from the Argentina fans was incredible.

Really good save from Hugo Lloris but it is clearly over the line from Messi. Messi is pointing to the gods and these fans are going wild. You just knew there would be more in extra-time. Messi has had his say.

Script writers would throw this away for being too unbelievable.
Absolutely ridiculous. What a match. What a narrative. What an atmosphere.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT'S MESSI! IT'S MESSI!
Argentina come to life in attack! They work the ball intricately down the right and when Lautaro Martinez's effort is palmed out there is the little man to seize his moment again! He fires a shot that is hacked away by a France defender but from way behind the goal line!
The stadium erupts first, then the ref points to the spot!
Bedlam!

You want someone to go for this in the next 15 minutes.
But as time goes on, you sense that won't happen.

Hugo Lloris with a save to deny Messi!
The France keeper drops to parry a volleyed shot from the Argentine forward.

You have to give Argentina credit for rallying themselves after the two quick fire goals. Anybody's game now.

Blood and thunder from the Argentines - you can just tell Messi isn't quite finished yet.
