Kylian Mbappe was one of the stars of the game with his three goals in the World Cup final, and yet Équipe Tricolore missed out on their second successive World Cup title by losing 4-2 on penalties.
Sam Ashoo is in Doha for Euronews. He says: “This World Cup final was based on the battle of two of the greatest superstars and it did not disappoint. Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe: Messi was exceptional in the first half, Mbappe sensational in the second. Both scored in extra time as well. For Argentina it is their first World Cup win since 1986, for their captain it is the crowning moment of a truly incredible career that may end the debate about who is the greatest player of all time. “
