For an event that is the most watched in the world, a Worldcup final, between 2 powerhouse and favourites. One trying to retain their title, against one who have been trying and have been close the past few world cups. A battle between 2 generational talent, one is arguably to ever played the sport, against one who could surpass his predecessor. A last dance for Messi. Supposedly a comfortable 2-0, and then Mbappe suddenly comes up with 2-2. At ET, you’d think Argentina would win it, then equalized again. Craziest sporting event in history IMO.

People talk about France wasn’t there but it’s just that Argentina tactics was spot on. Scaloni knew exactly what needed to be done until he made the sub for Di Maria and he made sure all the XI knew what needed to be done the defense was perfect until the obvious errors and the midfield was brilliant as I expected closing down players & rushing them off the ball so they didn’t have time to think & make key passes and that’s what won them the game within that 75min masterclass. Having Di Maria start on the left kept kounde from going forward knowing Mbappe wouldn’t come back to support and De Paul helped Molina to keep out Mbappe while cutting out griezman passes & helped turnover possession. He was brilliant. I don’t even have to highlight Messi because we all saw his brilliance and determination in the entire World Cup but in this match he was everything. He was the one in his own penalty area heading the ball out for a corner, he was the one who tracked back & won the ball in his own half, he was pressing and even fouled players in the process. He was involved in every key moment of this match and he has silenced anyone who said he’s not good at penalties and couldn’t handle the pressure in big moments because the way he took his penalties against lloris was brilliant and even the one against Netherlands and especially Croatia was excellent.

Go and watch hilights of 2019 cricket World Cup final then told this best

[@unknowntrap7601]

Best game ever

[@danielmilbourne880]

I think its the best WC final ever but not the best final ever...the hyperbole of things in the present, clouding memories of great moments in the past.

[@yogi2983]

It's not hyperbole. This is the most prized possession in football and every single mistake had huge consequences. That's why it's the best final. The pressure of the moment was unbelievable.

[@danielmilbourne880]

@@yogi2983 so by that logic every WC final surpasses everything else....don't get me wrong, it was a very good final....right up there....but not the best ever. For example the 86 final between Arg v Ger went on a similar route....but with the passage of time, unless u r argentine, nobody remembers....which illustrates my point

[@stevencripps]

Of course it is! I’ve been watching football for 40 years and it’s easily the best.

It was probably messi last world cup to close the goat debate, a whole country with passion to the game dreaming winning it. Also is the most popular sport in the world

[@lukestraub4561]

The amount of my friends in America who don’t care about soccer at all tell me how great that game was! The Final was unreal

[@dibbsutd]

Best final of any sport?? Borg vs McEnroe, Canada vs USSR 1987 Canada Cup are a couple that come to mind.

The 2nd goal of Argentina was a beauty master piece, perfection at its best

[@coachhbosoccer]

Kolo Mouani I never thought much of in Germany. He was a tually one of Frances' best players and made it a great final

[@goat9295]

Kolo Muani and Thurman will definitely have their breakout season.

[@Danimo_christensen]

Nobody cares about cricket outside South Asia the final which you are talking about was on july 2019 in London on the same day there was wimbeldon final in London and the viewership of wimbeldon final was more than cricket final in England and the funny thing was no English player was in wimbeldon final 😂 this is the level of cricket outside South Asia 😂

[@sparkextrugen7997]

Absolutely

[@nian3489]

yes it was one of the greatest final in the history, but you should not forget the 2019 CWC final,eng vs nz match tied , super over tied , eng won because they hot 9 more boundaries, speechless

Cricket world cup 2019 was the best final because of the thrilling competition

[@TarimUlhaq]

Football doesn’t have happy endings like this. That’s why the whole world is rejoicing around messi. A icon we will talk about When we’re older the same way they do about maradona. A brilliant last dance to cap off his genius. Brilliant advert for the game this final. Now we’re waiting for womens football to say why they’re better

[@jayak3768]

I like Qatar never giving into woke ideology. Women football cannot compete with this drama. There are hardly less than 10 teams worthy of world class performance.

[@Kushagra.j]

Women's football ☕🤮

[@mindysuave3867]

Womens football is one sided because actual women play against women transitioning or transitioned into men.that’s why USA always wins.90% on testosterone,😅😅😅

Better than Maradona. Both as a player and just as a human being. And Maradona himself knew it.

Don’t forget Liverpool vs Ac Milan , that was an excellent final rite up there as well

[@christosnikitakis6675]

It was an 11 man effort. Messi was important playmaker, but it took support from Fernandez, Alvarez, Macalister, and Emi as well. Team effort. Best ever.

[@agabamelvin6970]

Ali is spot on

[@86klu]

You Have to be kidding me, That final was made legendary also because France and Mbappe come backS. And we to have to wait 11 minutes to hear mentioning the name of MBAPPE… man is 24 and 12 goals in World Cup won one, hat trick and that… That is ridiculous Madness. And it is the guy that is on the cam that mention MBAPPE, not the ESPN employee who straight go back to speak about macAlister and then di María. None of them has spoken about Mbappe. Who second goal is one of the must insane goal we ever witness in football history considering the context.. ESPN journalistes soo disappointing . Pitiful. Shameful what a disgrace.

[@ezraezra2928]

World Cup Final: 75 minutes that killed the game in Lusail. Champions League Final: Six minutes that shocked the world in Istanbul. Also, this Champions League Final was held in Istanbul. I hope it might be the same as 2005. Liverpool vs Milan.

[@rhanon5305]

The game only picked up at 75 minute mark... but ucl 2005 final was classic from first minute
