Messi adds third star to Argentina's jersey

CGTN Sports Talk

Lionel Messi wrote likely the final, perfect chapter to his story as a member of the Argentine national team after they won the third FIFA World Cup title for "La albiceleste" at Lusail Stadium in Qatar on Sunday night. The victory belonged to everyone, including Messi and Angel Di Maria, who together scored Argentina's three goals, goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez who blocked at least two key shots, and Gonzalo Montiel who made the decisive final penalty. Kylian Mbappe won the World Cup Golden Boot award as the second player in history to score a hat trick in the tournament's final. He was so close to making his own history, but luck was not on France's side. Despite the loss, the young players of "Les Bleus" proved they are capable of making the World Cup final such a close competition. If they continue to perform like this, their era will come.
