Mbappe without smiles on achievements as his first World Cup final hat-trick in 56 years

The final of the World Cup in Qatar took place on 18 December (Japan hours 19 December), and Argentina won the championship for the third time in 36 years. They won the penalty shoot-out 4-2 after trailing 3-3 to beat France. France missed out on back-to-back titles following the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

France's Mbappe kept his mouth together after the game and dropped his gaze to the pitch.

He came on as the first kicker in the penalty shoot-out that came from 3-3 down and played his part by swinging into the net. Subsequent players failed in quick succession. I almost let go of it, and in front of the "back-to-back title" that I drew many times, I finally ran out of strength.

The French jersey number "10" changed the flow from the beginning, when Argentina were only conspicuously good. Columuani was brought down in the 35th minute of the second half, when they had conceded a two-goal lead, and calmly scored a penalty to take a one-goal lead.

The highlight came just one minute later. A one-two with Churam entered the penalty area and stabbed a powerful direct volley into the bottom right corner of the goal to equalise.

In the second half of extra time, when Argentina took the lead again, his own shot invited the hands of the opposing players and won the penalty again. He calmly struck the ball to the left of the goal to complete his first World Cup final in 56 years since Hearst (England) in 1966, scoring three goals in one game.

Their presence in this tournament was outstanding. He played in all seven matches. His touch on the ball was soft, and his dribbling with a big stride was full of power.

Starting with the first match of the first round against Australia, he scored a lot of goals. In the final, he won the fierce battle with his colleague Messi at Paris Saint-Germain with eight goals, but fell just short of becoming the third team in history to win back-to-back titles after Italy (34, 38) and Brazil (58, 62).

What black were Messi wearing? Keep an eye on the winner's trophy

The final of the World Cup in Qatar took place on the 18th December, and Argentina won the title for the third time. When captain Messi, who won the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award, lifted the trophy at the awards ceremony, the black jacket that wore the sleeves also attracted attention.

Messi entered the award ceremony with a big smile on his face. The Emir of Qatar handed him a jacket made of mesh and was leg-length. Messi accepted the trophy after putting it up his sleeve and hoisted it with his teammates to win the World Cup.

According to local media, the jacket is a traditional Qatari costume called "bishto" and becomes a square gown when unfolded. It is worn on the stage of weddings and awards ceremonies. It is considered good manners to wear dark colors such as black and brown at night.

At the award ceremony, Qatari officials proudly watched as Messi wore Bishto.

EMILIANO MARTINEZ - THE ARGENTINA FOOTBALL PLAYER - WON THE GOLDEN GLOVE AWARD FOR BEST GOAL KEEPER OF THE TOURNAMENT FIFA 2022

It was a really tough match.

――How do you feel now after the match?

It was a really tough match. We were leading, but we equalised, and we were caught up in extra time, and I think our team is destined to suffer.

The penalty was fortunate enough to be stopped. There has never been such a great World Cup. I can't put into words how I feel right now.

――How did you feel about the penalty kick?

I believed in my teammates and always tried to stay calm when I took a penalty. That's what's important.

To whom will we dedicate victory?

◆I want to dedicate it to my family. I was born in a very poor family. I played in England when I was young, but my family supported me. I'm really happy with this result.
