The France team are in a huddle, surrounding an energetic Didier Deschamps, who throws out instructions.
The Argentina players are stood separate, probably wondering how they are not currently hugging each other and celebrating.

Rob Green
Former England goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 LiveAll the shape has gone from this game, the midfield is being bypassed,.
That suits Mbappe to the ground. He's waiting for those moments of instinct.
'Big save from Lloris'published at 17:00 Greenwich Mean Time 18 December 2022

Jermaine Jenas
Former England midfielder on BBC OneWhat a moment. Messi just cuts in and leathers it straight down the middle. Lloris has to watch it all the way onto his hand. He gets something on it and forces it over the bar. As moments go, big save.

SAVE!
Lionel Messi eyes the ultimate moment. He gets the ball out of his stride on the edge of the France box, picks his spot and fires....
Hugo Lloris dives... and blocks.
Oof. What a finale that could have been?!

Randal Kolo Muani is making a serious name for himself here!
He charges away down the middle and it takes a well-time tackle to prevent him inflicting a killer blow.

SCRAMBLE!
This is utterly breathless!
Kingsley Coman beats a man on the byline and crosses low for Adrien Rabiot to fire on target. Emi Martinez saves, lets the ball get loose and then drops on it just before a French toe can make contact.

Kylian Mbappe wants to win all on his own!
He drives forward and unleashes a shot that takes a deflection and goes over.
He is wrenching that torch out of Messi's grasp.
