This online news platform understands that Kylian Mbappe became the second man in history to score a hat-trick in the FIFA World Cup final as France dragged Argentina and Lionel Messi into a penalty shootout after a thrilling 3-3 draw at Lusail Stadium
Chasing elusive glory in his final World Cup, News One Nigeria reports that Messi, gave Argentina a 23rd-minute lead from the penalty spot before Angel Di Maria, who won the spot kick, scored an excellent second. Argentina led 2-0 at halftime and 3-2 in extra time, with Messi scoring twice either side of a goal from the exceptional Angel Di Maria.
Kylian Mbappé scored two goals in the space of 97 seconds in the second half, becoming the first player to score a brace in a World Cup final since Ronaldo for Brazil vs Germany in 2002.

Messi, Paulo Dybala, and Leandro Paredes all converted, leaving Gonzalo Montiel to send Hugo Lloris the wrong way and secure his country’s third World Cup title.
