Last night’s FIFA World Cup match between Argentina and France was nothing short of thrilling. While Argentina won the World Cup, France put up an equally strong fight. The match had a lot to unpack and the nail-biting penalty kicks by Messi sealed Argentina’s win by 4-2. While Lionel Messi shone as the star on the field, let’s not forget Kylian Mbappe who put his best foot forward.
