Logan Paul left in awe of Lionel Messi as he creates history in FIFAWorldCup final
He wasn’t the only one beaming with joy from the stands, with Messi’s wife
Things got even better for Messi and Argentina when Angel Di Maria doubled their lead in the 36th minute.Di Maria’s first time finish nestled into the bottom right corner after being picked out by Alexis Mac Allister free inside the box. It was nothing less than what the 2021 Copa America champions deserved after outplaying Les Bleus in the first half.France boss Didier Deschamps was not happy with his side’s display and decided to make a double change before the end of the half.And Deschamps’ tactical tweak worked as substitute Randal Kolo Muani won a late penalty which Kylian Mbappe converted, before Marcus Thuram set up the PSG striker for the dramatic equaliser.
Messi then put Argentina back into the lead in extra-time, only for Mbappe to equalise in the 118th minute from the penalty spot. Both players scored in the shootout, but it was Argentina who prevailed as they won 4-2 to win their first World Cup since 1986.
