Argentina vs. France highlights: Messi, Argentina win World Cup in PKs

Lionel Messi has finally done it. 

Argentina won the 2022 FIFA World Cup on Sunday, defeating France in penalty kicks in one of the most dramatic matches in the history of the sport. After a 3-3 tie through extra time, Argentina won 4-2 in penalty kicks.

Messi scored twice in the match, including a goal in the 108th minute that appeared to win it for Argentina. However, Kylian Mbappé scored on a penalty kick in the 118th minute to complete the hat trick. Mbappé had previously scored two goals in two minutes to even the match in the 81st minute. 

In penalty kicks, Argentinian goalie Emiliano Martinez made a stop in the second round and Aurélien Tchouaméni's penalty kick went wide in the third round, proving to be the difference in the match. 

With the win, Messi won his first World Cup and will likely go out a champion as he's indicated this will be his final World Cup. 

Here's everything that happened in Sunday's classic.
