Following a 3-3 tie after two extra sessions, Argentina overcame France 4-2 in a penalty shootout on December 18 to win the 2022 World Cup.
Penalty shootout developments
France comes first. In the first round of shots, Mbappe prevailed over Martinez even though the Argentine goalie predicted the shot correctly. Messi also overcame Lloris for the Argentines.
In the second round of shots, Emiliano Martinez successfully deflected Coman’s kick. Then Dybala put Argentina up 2-1 with a goal that went straight into the center.
Tchouameni took a shot in the third round, and Paredes defeated Lloris. Leading 3-1 is Argentina.
Kolo Muani defeated Martinez in the fourth round with a middle-of-the-range shot. Montiel hit his target on the Argentine side.
Argentina prevailed 4-2 in the shootout. For the first time in his career, Messi took home the World Cup trophy.
Following Argentina’s victory against Croatia, Messi announced that the 2022 World Cup final will be his final match in the tournament. When Germany won the 2014 World Cup final in Brazil, the 34-year-old striker appeared to turn away from the tournament, breaking the hearts of his fans. Messi will now have the chance to cap off his career in the final for the second time.
But for this gorgeous scenario to happen, Argentina would have to cross a real mountain. Despite missing numerous key players to injuries, including as Karim Benzema, Paul Pogba, N’golo Kante, and Lucas Hernandez, the defending champion France showed that they were still a force. This occurred in the context of a vibrant European football history. Because of Didier Deschamps’ sound system and the team’s superstars, France will be more respected in the forthcoming championship game.
France hasn’t lost any of its last ten World Cup games against opponents from South America. Their most recent defeat was a 1-2 setback to Argentina in the group stage in 1978. But Argentina has the advantage in their head-to-head past. In all tournaments, France only managed to win three of its 12 games while dropping six. Of these six matches, Argentina prevailed in two of the three World Cup encounters. However, Mbappe’s two goals helped France win 4-3 in their lone World Cup elimination stage game and final confrontation. Messi and Messi are competing for the World Cup Golden Ball and Top Scorer honor when they both have five goals.
Argentina welcomed back Marcos Acuna and Gonzalo Montiel, two fullbacks who were suspended and missed the semifinals. The only player missing from the South American squad is midfielder Alejandro Gomez. In the meantime, the French squad is battling the viral spread. Dayot Upamecano, Adrien Rabiot, Kingsley Coman, Raphael Varane, and Ibrahima Konate were among the victims. These five players have returned to practice ahead of the final game, although their physical condition might not be the best.
Congratulations to Messi and Argentina, the 2022 World Cup champions!
