Full Penalty Shoot-out | Messi's Argentina vs Mbappe's France | FIFA World Cup 2022 Final FIFA FIFA 35.5M subscribers Subscr

Penalties will be taken at Argentina's favoured end. They shoot first, you defend, guys. Fans to go first, you want to get the first blow in if you can. Well, Emi Martinez has been a hero in these circumstances once already. His saves from Virgil van Dijk and Steven Berghaus are the reason Argentina are still here. Versed to using mind games, Martinez, if he has to. Trying to get in the taker's head. The last big French penalty shootout was at the European Championships last summer and they lost to Switzerland because Kylian Mbappe failed against Yann Sommer with their final penalty. This time, having twice already scored from the spot and three times in all having scored, Mbappe steps up first. On his day of no error. When you hit it that hard, even though the keeper guesses the right way, it's going to be a difficult one. Gets a decent touch on it, but we're near enough. Interesting that the two top men are going first. Messi went first against the Netherlands. He went first also in last summer's Copa America shootout in Brasilia against Colombia in the semi-final. And on both occasions he scored. How do you do that? How do you do this in these circumstances? Next up is Kingsley Coman. Ear-splitting whistles. That's twice he's guessed right. With Mbappe, couldn't do much about it, he could with this one. The big lad, he's got a long reach. Well for Argentina, Paulo Dybala came off the bench with this kick of the ball in mind. Not easy when you've only been on the pitch a few minutes as he has. Not an easy situation that. Martin Mouth perhaps hitting it down the middle. Meridian, Charmeny has scored one of the goals of this competition against England in the quarter-finals. Martinez is trying to get in his head. He hasn't helped with the return of the ball. He will do what it takes. Not a nail left to be chewed. Easy to say now, but never looked entirely confident waiting for that. He thrives on these situations, Martinez. He really does. There it is, to take Argentina to match point. That's a touch on it, Hugo Lloris. Gets a touch on it. Almost under his body, under the outstretched palm. And France's margin for error is now zero. Here we go. He's trying everything there, Martinez. Trying to have a word with his man. Left pushing him back. Is this Colin Mwane? Martinez. Nowhere to hide. He must. He has. If in doubt, put your foot through it. For Gonzalo Montiel. Didn't start the game. He can finish it. Montiel. Tango! 26 years since Maradona and Mexico. Finally. It's a nation's new throng of immortals. He fated. Messi will be sainted. France this time, denied. Defied. Messi fell to his knees, Peter, in the centre circle. He couldn't move. He fell to his knees and was surrounded by teammates. Incredible scenes here. Messi has conquered his final peak. Messi has shaken hands with paradise. The little boy from Rosario Santa Fe has just pitched up in heaven. Climbs into a galaxy of his own. Has his crowning moment. And of course he is not alone. One feels for Mbappé who scored a World Cup final hat-trick and lost. How can that be? You always thought that perhaps Argentina's name was on the trophy. Destiny dictated that the little man would lift it after a stellar career. And the fullback delivers the final blow. Carlo Montiel, 25 years old. A boy out of River Plate, making his way in Europe. Has ensured that this time South America prevails over Europe. And there's Sergio Aguero. Messi's best mate. A one-time prolific scorer for Argentina who couldn't watch but who turned and embraced the moment as all in Albi Celeste embraced the moment. The greatest player of his age finally has the greatest accolade football can afford him. The greatest football matches ever played. Fans, they just looked dead and buried, didn't they? After 79 minutes, you could not see a way back for them. Kola Mouhani wins the penalty and after that you just couldn't predict what was going to happen next. Oh, wouldn't you want to be where they're going to be tonight? Partygoers in the extreme. The final score in an extraordinary 2022 World Cup final. Argentina 3, France 3. And Argentina winning on penalties by 4-2.
