00:00:19Let's get started.
00:00:38It's time for the gold rush.
00:00:43We're not talking about his name.
00:00:47We're talking about this beauty.
00:00:51So let's turn up the heat.
00:00:54Way more.
00:00:58Every time this trophy shines bright, it sets them going crazy.
00:01:09The hunt for the ultimate prize.
00:01:13That solid slab of gold.
00:01:15It all comes down to this.
00:01:20You're absolutely right, young man.
00:01:22This at Lucille.
00:01:25The plan is, of course, 90 more minutes.
00:01:28If required, there will be 30 beyond that.
00:01:30And should it be the case, penalties if we have come to no conclusion by the time we've played 120
00:01:36minutes.
00:01:37Argentina play France.
00:01:38It's the climax to the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.
00:01:42Our coverage continues in Arabic, English, Spanish and French.
00:01:47Free to air today and also on YouTube.
00:01:53Max 4 will cover as for this format, as has been the case during the course of the tournament.
00:02:00Many different camera angles, facts and figures to your heart's content.
00:02:06Well, this is what it's all about.
00:02:11Only winners can touch it.
00:02:13Can you touch it?
00:02:15It was in the studio.
00:02:16No.
00:02:16No, they wouldn't let us, would they?
00:02:18That's about the nearest the Scot has ever got to the world in the World Cup that day.
00:02:22And will be.
00:02:23And will be.
00:02:23Oi!
00:02:26Oi, oi, oi, oi.
00:02:28Yeah, I was as close as they are.
00:02:31He could see us now.
00:02:33Oh, yeah.
00:02:36Beautiful, isn't it?
00:02:37It's been...
00:02:37You know, the Jules Remy, they often wonder, when Brazil won that outright, when they won it for the third
00:02:41time,
00:02:41it was always a story, like, how could they make a new trophy that would be regarded equally?
00:02:46I think it's better.
00:02:48Have they ever found an old trophy?
00:02:50Of course they found Jules Remy.
00:02:51The old one?
00:02:52Yes.
00:02:52It was stolen?
00:02:53It was stolen in Brazil, and it's still missing.
00:02:56It's still missing, eh?
00:02:57You're joking.
00:02:58Yeah, we didn't know that.
00:02:59You were talking about 66 when the dog found it.
00:03:02Yeah, that's it.
00:03:03It was later stolen in Brazil and never recovered.
00:03:05Is it not?
00:03:06Wow.
00:03:06You know, the thing that gives me most pleasure about this, prior to kick off,
00:03:10is the way in which this tournament has been managed impeccably, in my view.
00:03:15I think the football has been outstanding.
00:03:17I think everybody that's had anything to do with the organisation of this tournament should be proud.
00:03:22And if it's changed perceptions and many misconceptions about this part of the world, then it's done its job.
00:03:28Absolutely.
00:03:28There are some still that refuse to embrace or understand, and may they continue to live in their very small
00:03:38-minded and very closed world.
00:03:42These guys have loved every minute of it.
00:03:4690 more for them, and the little magician, perhaps, conjures magic that takes home the World Cup for the third
00:03:53time for Argentina.
00:03:55France are looking for a third success.
00:03:56They've even printed jerseys with three stars on their kit manufacturers, which I think is tempting fate.
00:04:04There we go.
00:04:06I would love to have three stars on mine.
00:04:09I don't even have one.
00:04:10Three.
00:04:11I was just going to say, one win.
00:04:12Three.
00:04:12Yeah, we lost three.
00:04:13So what do we have, then?
00:04:15What is that?
00:04:16You have three hard luck stories.
00:04:24Three or four onlys.
00:04:26You know what the funny thing is?
00:04:28We, you know, we have been here for a long, long time.
00:04:31And every time we talk about so many days, so many days, the World Cup is coming.
00:04:35And now, it goes so quick this tournament.
00:04:38It's almost finished.
00:04:40It's flat.
00:04:41But it's flown because we had a good time.
00:04:44I think we had some good football.
00:04:45Yeah, we had a good time, good football.
00:04:47And a good time to go with it, yeah.
00:04:48And the fact that I could, every day, I could go back to my own room, go in my own
00:04:52bed.
00:04:53Don't need to travel a lot.
00:04:54And I'm going to miss it already now, thinking about the next World Cup.
00:04:59Oh, my God.
00:05:01I think we've seen that from the players, haven't we?
00:05:02Not travelling after games, the recovery, the games have been great.
00:05:06It's been...
00:05:07If a downtime joint, probably, for the first time, instead of travelling a thousand miles,
00:05:10two thousand miles in between games, look at a family and see family and have downtime.
00:05:14And they get themselves ready again.
00:05:15But also, I think, from a performance point of view, they're midway through their season.
00:05:19You're at your peak fitness, really.
00:05:20It's there, yeah.
00:05:21I've seen players and teams at the peak of their performance as well.
00:05:24Can't see it there, obviously.
00:05:25There's something Peter Schmeichel mentioned when he came in today.
00:05:28One ball mouth, the one to the right, has been repaired.
00:05:31There's a whole lot of brand new turf in there.
00:05:33Does that become a factor at any point?
00:05:36Is it a nuisance to keeper and defenders at any stage?
00:05:39Yeah, it's quite a bit.
00:05:40It's a big chunk of turf in the six-yard box, yeah.
00:05:43It's almost a win for the goal.
00:05:45No, I don't think so.
00:05:47No, no, no.
00:05:49It's just a goal.
00:05:50It's just a goal.
00:05:51It's getting their excuses early.
00:05:52No, it's a goalkeeper.
00:05:55If something likes to have a goal like that, you can't say nothing, Peter Schmeichel.
00:06:01Hold on.
00:06:01Go ahead.
00:06:02Those of us who watch our Premier League football, remember many years ago, Stan Collymore dribbling
00:06:06a back pass in Tim Flowers' direction.
00:06:08I agree.
00:06:08And it took a really nasty hop in front of the keeper.
00:06:11I remember when the goalkeeper pulled.
00:06:13I think the pitches are slightly better now.
00:06:14Yeah, yeah.
00:06:15No, you can't.
00:06:16In an England game, away from home, when somebody rolled a ball back to him, and he went to kick
00:06:20a clear and hopped over his footstreet.
00:06:22Oh, look, look, if you talk about pitches in England, by the way, in the old days, they
00:06:28kept the pitch always, the grass long, in the corners.
00:06:31Yes, in the corners.
00:06:33So they just banged the ball in his corners.
00:06:36That was Cambridge.
00:06:37Yes, but that's how they played football.
00:06:40And then they had to kick the ball out, and then the throw in, everybody clapping, everybody
00:06:44was happy, and then you get a throw in, unbelievable, like rockers in the whole idea of what?
00:06:50Anyway, the good news is we won't see any of that today.
00:06:52No, no, no, no, no, exactly.
00:06:56I think I'm going to be at the round of 16 stage if we miss this.
00:07:00Every other game I can think of, we've seen this, and today, of course, for one final time.
00:07:05They just caught that, didn't they, that embrace?
00:07:07Yeah.
00:07:07It was too light, didn't they?
00:07:08You were in a bad way?
00:07:10Yeah.
00:07:10Just caught it, John.
00:07:11Just as it were the ending.
00:07:16And you're right about the passing of the baton, I think, Richard.
00:07:18From Messi to Mbappe.
00:07:23It's all yours now, son.
00:07:24And this could be his defining moment.
00:07:26Well, not yet.
00:07:27Not yet.
00:07:28We might witness that here.
00:07:29There would be no better stage in which for it to happen, but not yet.
00:07:33Messi might just have...
00:07:35Messi?
00:07:35Well, listen.
00:07:36I'm pretty saying this.
00:07:37Great athletes of every sport mark that by doing something special.
00:07:42Tiger Woods, you look at basketball and then...
00:07:45Michael Gordon.
00:07:46All these people that are amazing.
00:07:49Like Wayne Gretzky of the Edmundsson Oilers.
00:07:52People like that who had greatness but did great things.
00:07:56And I think that's the only thing missing from Messi.
00:07:58You know, if he's going to be up there in the pantheon of Pele, Maradona,
00:08:04he has to do...
00:08:06They have to win today for that to happen for me.
00:08:08Yeah.
00:08:09Now, you know, you want it to happen.
00:08:11I think that you're right.
00:08:13You recognize the greatness always on the moment that it matters most.
00:08:17Here we go.
00:08:17And this is the ball.
00:08:19And he did it already, eh?
00:08:20He did it in the final.
00:08:21Look at Mbappe.
00:08:22But even Tom Brady...
00:08:23Let's wait, guys.
00:08:24Let's hear it.
00:08:33Let's hear it.
00:08:56This is where we separate until halftime.
00:09:01Spanish viewers, if you wish, for Spanish commentary.
00:09:06It is available via the language button on your remote control.
00:09:08Jodie Ponce will be providing commentary for you.
00:09:11For the rest of us, after we've paused for the national anthems,
00:09:14ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup final.
00:09:19Qatar, ladies and gentlemen...
00:09:21It's Alan Smith and Peter Drew.
00:09:23...for the playing of the national anthem of Argentina.
00:09:26The national anthem of Argentina.
00:09:29As well, the glorious autumn augmentions...
00:09:33The national anthem of Argentina.
00:09:33At that very high school.
00:09:35The national anthem...
00:09:36... 01.
00:09:37Of the nation's pele at the national anthem
00:09:37While thewhere to the international anthem...
00:09:40For the nation's seoul...
00:09:46...
00:09:48The national anthem...
00:09:51The national anthem of Argentina.
00:09:54The national anthem of Argentina.
00:09:55Yes, to the national anthem...
00:09:57Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
00:10:01-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
00:10:04-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

00:10:05-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
00:10:43Please remain standing in favor for the National Anthem of France.
00:10:54The National Anthem of France
00:11:26The National Anthem of France
00:11:29The National Anthem of France
00:11:57Marchons, marchons.
00:11:59Le jour de gloire est arrivé.
00:12:02The day of glory has indeed arrived.
00:12:06And when these nations last met in this manner,
00:12:10it was for a truly glorious game.
00:12:14Nine who start here also started France's glittering 4-3 victory over Argentina
00:12:19at the last World Cup four and a half years ago.
00:12:27The teams, and with Emi Martinez in goal,
00:12:31Argentina select the same defence as started the semi-final.
00:12:35That means a 100th cap for Nicolas Otamendi,
00:12:38and Nicolas Taliafico preferred at left-back to Marcos Acuna.
00:12:42Adjustment, though, further forward, the combative Paredes
00:12:45gives way to the creative Angel Di Maria,
00:12:48and Lionel Messi's 26th World Cup appearance represents a new record.
00:12:52He and Julian Alvarez account for nine of Argentina's 12 tournament goals.
00:13:03For the first time, the World Cup final is overseen by a Polish referee,
00:13:07and Shimon Marciniak has already had charge of both contenders here,
00:13:11France against Denmark and Argentina against Australia.
00:13:16Messi and Lloris become the fourth and fifth men to captain their country
00:13:20three at two World Cup finals.
00:13:21Thomas Kwiatowski, also of Poland, is the video assistant referee.
00:13:32For France, Hugo Lloris can become the first captain ever to lift the World Cup twice.
00:13:36Vaio Upamecano is fully recovered and reclaims his place from Kanati in the back four.
00:13:42Varane is fine.
00:13:43Adrian Rabiot, who also missed the semi-final, reclaims his place from Yusuf Fafana.
00:13:49Meses Griezmann and Mbappé both scored in the last World Cup final.
00:13:53Olivier Giroud is another of five in this side,
00:13:56who also started the equivalent game in Moscow four and a half years ago.
00:14:01It is the same XI that started the quarter-final here against England.
00:14:07Mbappé, 11 and a half years, Messi's junior.
00:14:10His clubmates, he already has the medal.
00:14:13Two days shy of his 24th birthday, Kylian Mbappé could have two of them.
00:14:20Argentina's number 10, Maradona, Messi, each in his turn, they're supernaturally great.
00:14:26But Maradona won the World Cup.
00:14:29The complete utopian narrative demands of Messi that he also wins the World Cup.
00:14:42High noon on a sizzling summer's day in Buenos Aires.
00:14:47Four o'clock on a chill Parisian Sunday afternoon.
00:14:51Nightfall in Doha.
00:14:55The final of the 22nd World Cup.
00:14:59France again or Argentina at last?
00:15:03Each for the right to a third star on their national jersey.
00:15:08Bundles of romance around it, yes.
00:15:10But Alan, what is the nuts and bolts reality of this football match?
00:15:14I suppose you would argue that Argentina are under a little bit more pressure.
00:15:19They've got the bulk of their supporters here.
00:15:23Obviously France are World Cup winners, holders of this competition.
00:15:30They've been there, seen it, done it.
00:15:33For Argentina there's so much expectation.
00:15:37To bring that trophy home for Lionel Messi.
00:15:41Can they live up to the occasion?
00:15:45Argentina beginning the World Cup final with a back four.
00:15:48They have altered through the competition indeed within games.
00:15:53That is the first foul by Chua Mealy.
00:15:58At the back of Alexis McAllister.
00:16:16Argentina's sixth final.
00:16:18They have won two of five so far.
00:16:20France's fourth World Cup final.
00:16:22They have won two of three.
00:16:26France didn't even qualify in 1990 and 1994.
00:16:30Now four finals in seven editions since.
00:16:34The years spanning the millennium.
00:16:36They have been the world's preeminent force.
00:16:40That is a foul on Adrian Rabiot.
00:16:44Yeah, De Paul's playing on this right-hand side.
00:16:47Di Maria actually on the other.
00:16:50I didn't disguise that too well at all.
00:16:52But I thought Angel Di Maria might come over onto the other flank.
00:16:56He might well do at some stage.
00:16:58Try and find some space.
00:17:02When Al Mbappe doesn't track back.
00:17:05Messi drifting onto that side as well.
00:17:07It could be a potent weapon for them.
00:17:12Ismuntabelli let it roll out.
00:17:16Picked on for Messi.
00:17:19And spread adroitly by Messi for Di Maria.
00:17:22And Di Maria can loft it in.
00:17:25Nudge cleared by Rabiot.
00:17:26Taken up by De Paul.
00:17:27Messi.
00:17:29De Paul.
00:17:30Scooped up towards Alvarez.
00:17:33And who was offside.
00:17:35He should be full of it, shouldn't he?
00:17:37Alvarez.
00:17:39To his goals.
00:17:41It's been a little too early.
00:17:42They held the line well.
00:17:43France there.
00:17:49Lionel Scaloni arrived here as the youngest coach at the World Cup.
00:17:57It's recalling though that Cesar Luis Menotti was younger still than him.
00:18:00Only 39 when he first won it for Argentina in 1978.
00:18:18It's the challenge at the back of Messi.
00:18:19And a stern look from Simon Marciniak at Upamecano.
00:18:24Well, the opportunity was there that he couldn't resist.
00:18:26Upamecano just leave a little bit on Lionel Messi.
00:18:31And they won the World Cup three times as a player.
00:18:33Zagallo twice as a player, once as a coach.
00:18:36Didier Deschamps can keep their company if he wins here.
00:18:40Once as a player.
00:18:41And he hopes today, second time as a coach.
00:18:47Understated.
00:18:48Never flashy.
00:18:49Never flashy when he played.
00:18:51But boy, he gets it.
00:18:53And boy, he gets it done.
00:18:59Spread by Romero.
00:19:01Delightfully taken by Di Maria.
00:19:03On by Tagliafico and then by McAllister.
00:19:08Di Maria.
00:19:09What do you make of his selection ahead of Paredes?
00:19:11Well, he started the tournament well.
00:19:13And then he dropped away.
00:19:15But big games, big names.
00:19:17And he's certainly one of those.
00:19:21I think Rabiot.
00:19:24Hernandez has gifted it back to Messi.
00:19:27And now De Paul.
00:19:30Drifting it again towards Di Maria.
00:19:32Seen by Koundé.
00:19:34That's assistance from Dembele.
00:19:36And Griezmann.
00:19:37That's a thick touch.
00:19:39Alvarez.
00:19:40What a pop.
00:19:45McAllister got plenty on it.
00:19:47Right start from Argentina.
00:19:48Not the best to defend in from Griezmann.
00:19:51But they've had plenty of the ball in the attack in third Argentina.
00:20:06And then there's his brother, don't forget, started the World Cup in that position.
00:20:12And they've faced him just ten minutes into the tournament.
00:20:18His knee gave way in the concession of that shock early goal against Australia.
00:20:24Feels like a memory now from a distant and different lifetime.
00:20:44Hernandez rolled off it by Messi, who's penalised.
00:20:52Coming man on the blind side, Messi.
00:20:54Chance to try and nick it.
00:20:58Enough strike from Alexis McAllister, who's had a good tournament.
00:21:01Growing all the time in a Argentina shirt.
00:21:30so that's it ahead of canard say that would have been a conundrum for
00:21:33didier deschamps as well griezmann always plays his 74th consecutive french game
00:21:40true or maybe here the sparkling goal against england
00:21:46down on rabio
00:22:01that wide towards fernandez
00:22:06played by molina collected by over meccano we gathered in by fernandez
00:22:12sifted through by messi moved on now by mcallister taken up at pace by di maria
00:22:18face to face with dembele
00:22:24mcallister fernandez
00:22:27nicked by griezmann one back for alvarez now angel di maria
00:22:32di maria's cutback has reached rodrigo de paul to paul strikes the deflection from varan flies wide
00:22:42will have been sharper in all areas of the pitch in these opening minutes argentina
00:22:47that molina just gives to paul a little bit of space and time
00:22:51to get his shot away and that could have gone anywhere
00:22:57a pretty imposing start from argentina
00:23:05who own the stadium for numbers noise and color
00:23:10phenomenal support
00:23:14here is their phenomenal player
00:23:22messi to the near post away comfortably by griezmann recycled by de paul messi again
00:23:29tease griezmann who again isn't having it
00:23:33now de paul
00:23:36up into the air by rabio
00:23:39arbores competing lorice couldn't gather the referee has intervened and france have a clearing free kick
00:23:47i'll talk about forced onto the back foot here france
00:23:57finding argentina sharp hungry opponents
00:24:04lorice comes and just gets locked off
00:24:09romero actually gets pushed into the keeper
00:24:14i'll be winded here
00:24:37i'll be winded here
00:24:41but he uh received one in the midriff there from his club mate
00:24:48romero
00:24:52tomorrow morning they'll be friends again
00:24:54help mccano though shoved romero
00:24:57into lorice you would imagine it's just windy he needs a
00:25:01a few minutes
00:25:04it's this stoppage won't
00:25:06won't unduly hurt france they need to just have a little chat settle down on the rhythm
00:25:13it is on behalf of didier deschamps
00:25:15who got lorice a 20th world cup appearance he's gone past manuel neuer that is a
00:25:19a new goalkeeping record
00:25:31and he has air back back in his lungs
00:25:44i don't think he's too happy with that challenge lorice but if he saw what we did
00:25:51romero was fairly innocent
00:25:57it's not of course the only clash of club mates in this game
00:26:02the other is uh or one of the others is mbappe and messi
00:26:08it's a good win by giroux up by talia fico up in here by rabio moved on by griezmann
00:26:15stepping in is romero who's lost it momentary to griezmann de paul is there to tidy up as is his
00:26:20won't
00:26:36fernandez
00:26:43do that all day down the channels
00:26:46target to his teammates
00:26:49Fernandes
00:26:50to Paul
00:26:52Messi
00:26:53see this friend Di Maria again
00:26:56Di Maria
00:26:57importantly seen by Chumeni
00:26:59Di Maria again
00:27:01to Paul
00:27:02Messi
00:27:06and there's charge down
00:27:08Alvarez
00:27:09handles
00:27:22well if Argentina
00:27:24can switch the ball quickly to Di Maria
00:27:26as they've been trying to do
00:27:27and he gets a one-on-one against
00:27:30Fulcunde
00:27:31fans might have problems there
00:27:33all right
00:27:52one day
00:27:55Dombele has picked his way through
00:27:58it's the Dombele
00:27:59Teo Hernandez
00:28:02Kylian Mbappe where he likes it
00:28:07Mbappe that's sweet
00:28:08Rabiot
00:28:10good protection for Martinez
00:28:15the way he plays those one twos at times
00:28:18it's almost impossible to stop
00:28:22get themselves in the gap in the space
00:28:24quickly
00:28:24Alina locks his man off
00:28:39Alvarez in step Rabiot
00:28:41taken back by Alvarez
00:28:42shifted very quickly on by McAllister
00:28:45sharp ball movement from Argentina
00:28:47sharp feet from Di Maria
00:28:49and here now is Lionel Messi
00:28:51cut out by Koundé
00:28:53chased up by Tegliafico
00:28:54it's Di Maria who's offside
00:28:57got the alarm bells
00:28:58ringing for fans aren't they
00:29:00the way this Argentine team have started
00:29:03the way they're putting the passes together
00:29:06Di Maria once again featuring out on that left hand side
00:29:17Di Maria started all three of the group games
00:29:19it was unavailable for the first knockout round against Australia
00:29:25and since then until now have played just a few minutes right at the end of the extra time period
00:29:31in that crazy game against the Netherlands
00:29:36Griezmann dispossessed
00:29:37Alvarez
00:29:39to Paul
00:29:42McAllister
00:29:43the fans have got to pick up the pace of this game
00:29:46again second best
00:29:48again second best
00:29:49slow
00:29:55go
00:29:56go
00:29:56go
00:29:59go
00:30:01go
00:30:02go
00:30:04go
00:30:17tina visibly the lion's share yeah a lot of it in advanced areas plenty of questions
00:30:38yeah
00:30:39yeah
00:30:39yeah
00:30:39yeah
00:30:39yeah
00:31:02It's difficult to get the ball up to Niki Aishirou, the friends for trying to block the pathway.
00:31:08Hernandez caught on it by De Paul, and here is Messi, and here's Rodrigo De Paul, Lionel Messi, Angel Di
00:31:16Maria, they're cobbled up in front of him.
00:31:23Well that's the way it's been for Frampton, these early stages, just not at the races.
00:31:30They get away with it once more.
00:31:36Tricky one to take, and recalling again that wonderful game between these two nations in Kazan four years ago, Angel
00:31:43Di Maria scored one of the most decorative goals of that superb match.
00:31:58Orgelin Pavard, you might recall, with a simply wondrous half volley. He's on the bench for France today, scored another.
00:32:11Moran, Dombele for France, who are still to settle. Rabiot, Hernandez, Pape.
00:32:23Moran, Dombele.
00:32:23Moran, Dombele.
00:32:40Moran, Dombele.
00:32:45Dombele's cross is blocked at source by McAllister.
00:32:49You never quite know whether you're going to get an end product off Dombele.
00:32:54It looks so threatening.
00:33:00Always effective with that final pass.
00:33:09Hernandez getting it back from Mbappe.
00:33:11Mbappe.
00:33:13And tumbling under challenge from De Paul as he sought to penetrate the penalty area.
00:33:18And France have a free kick.
00:33:22Yeah, De Paul quite obviously has got this job shifting over to the right hand side.
00:33:26Trying to help with Mbappe.
00:33:30Pera's challenge wasn't especially pretty either.
00:33:33By this time in Moscow, four years back, France had taken a lead courtesy of Mario Mandzukic's own goal.
00:33:48And here, in Doha, is their first window of genuine opportunity.
00:33:55Well, they've got some height, they've got some power, France here.
00:34:02Floating in by Griezmann.
00:34:05And attacked at full velocity by Olivier Giroud.
00:34:09He's climbed over.
00:34:11Angel Di Malia, I think it is.
00:34:14Desperate to get his head on the ball.
00:34:24Well, that is a beautiful image of a part of the centre forward's art.
00:34:34Magnificent aerial strength.
00:34:36Whether or not in the end it was deemed a foul by the Polish referee.
00:35:03A little bit in, France yet to have an attempt on target.
00:35:16Fernandes.
00:35:17Messi.
00:35:19Alina outside of him.
00:35:42Fernandes.
00:35:44All through for Team Maria. Touched on by Alvarez.
00:35:50team maria away from kunday he's got the ground he's got a penalty
00:36:00tempele had a little flick
00:36:03team maria went tumbling and argentina eye the first massive opportunity of the night
00:36:13well he's looked lively from the start does he clip his heels here
00:36:18perhaps just making dimly a trip up
00:36:24i don't think the ar are going to overturn this he's he's looked so dangerous on these one-on-ones
00:36:31i said kunday might be in trouble but dembele was even in more bother there as to stop the argentine
00:36:42lionel messi lionel messi goal in the last 16. penalty in the quarter-final penalty in the
00:36:50semi-final
00:36:56messi and the world
00:37:19a breath a heartbeats
00:37:22a goal forevermore perhaps his moment for infinity
00:37:46as if predestined
00:37:53well they deserve it don't they by far the better team so far
00:37:59and i'm not sure anybody in this stadium thought he was going to miss this talk about a call head
00:38:08fronts have not come to the party yet
00:38:13they've hardly kicked the ball in anger and they find themselves a goal down
00:38:19but a long long way to go here
00:38:25whatever the outcome
00:38:27he has had at least his moments he and they tens of thousands of them millions of them
00:38:37over the parks and squares and bars and cafes of buenos aires
00:38:48his 12th world cup goal and that draws him level with pele
00:38:54and his sixth goal of this tournament which has him at the front of the race for the golden boot
00:39:02messi six
00:39:04mbappe five
00:39:05alvarez and giroud four
00:39:10mbappe his turn perhaps
00:39:16moved out for alvarez
00:39:19well that should certainly
00:39:21wake up france argentina came out with much more purpose
00:39:26aggression getting to the ball quicker
00:39:30france just couldn't match them
00:39:31pushed onto the back fork from the first minute
00:39:55france's fourth world cup final
00:39:57and the first time they have trailed
00:40:19messi has that goal tally having also missed a penalty
00:40:22against poland in the group stage
00:40:29team maria is full of mischief but he's lost the ball
00:40:32giroud
00:40:35yeah romero just a little
00:40:37over anxious to get his toe on the ball there
00:40:58antoine grisman again one of the players of the tournament in charge of a dead ball for france
00:41:05on the present
00:41:10and mightily gifted
00:41:12he'll get another go
00:41:15a few little subplots developing on the edge of the penalty area
00:41:18yeah
00:41:19he's got to keep his eyes peeled
00:41:22in those situations
00:41:34short awkward little dink this for grisman
00:41:48in by grisman towards girou out by romero chased up by hernandez
00:41:56a pretty hefty collision and an urgent signal from the referee that medical attention is required
00:42:08and that wasn't messy
00:42:09and that wasn't messy
00:42:11put it in the stomach
00:42:12but messy
00:42:13caught it with his head
00:42:16that's why there was the urgency from the ref
00:42:20it's okay
00:42:42tina failed to score in their last two world cup finals
00:42:45beaten an extra time in rio de janeiro eight years ago back in 1990 beaten
00:42:50by a penalty five minutes from time from andy bremer
00:42:54in rome
00:42:58that's their first world cup final goal since vorge burashaga
00:43:03in the azteca
00:43:04in 1986
00:43:083-2 winner against west germany
00:43:24fernandez
00:43:25messi has drifted wide
00:43:28wants to take on and andes
00:43:30he'll
00:43:31happily
00:43:32cash it in for a corner
00:43:33yeah
00:43:34he had to wait for the ref's permission to come on
00:43:36and he just stepped onto the pitch
00:43:38he didn't go any further so
00:43:39he found himself in a bit of space
00:44:02in by messi
00:44:04out i think by giroux from the near post
00:44:06and now
00:44:09i see his offside
00:44:14much better corner this one from the earlier one
00:44:17giroux doing his job
00:44:27he's got a super tournament too
00:44:28as oddly he did four years ago
00:44:31i say oddly because as francis said
00:44:32if already fell to score a gold in russia
00:44:35that hasn't been the case here
00:44:42and by kunday
00:44:43dembele
00:44:44snatched back by mccallister
00:44:48fernandez made himself time
00:44:49and molina once more can advance from full back
00:44:55alvarez
00:44:57and messi
00:44:58once more di maria is wide
00:45:00messi picks his way through the middle
00:45:02mccallister
00:45:03now di maria
00:45:07slightly clucked it
00:45:08unusually
00:45:09yeah he did
00:45:10saw the
00:45:11one of alvarez
00:45:13try to pick him out
00:45:14but we are yet to see a reaction
00:45:17in france
00:45:18to that goal
00:45:30tromany
00:45:31giroux
00:45:32mbappé
00:45:38got a nice firm grip on things at the moment
00:45:40argentina
00:45:44the advance from terms
00:45:46for alan
00:45:46returning to
00:45:47one of the early conversational points
00:45:49that the selection of di maria
00:45:50right now by scaloni
00:45:52looks inspired
00:45:53it does
00:45:54yeah
00:45:54it does
00:45:57really sharp
00:46:00all looks changing with messi
00:46:04and messi again
00:46:08mccallister
00:46:09messi
00:46:12full pirouette
00:46:17past a lot of team maria
00:46:19and team maria has come up with a very clever answer
00:46:26fernandez
00:46:31fernandez
00:46:32alistair
00:46:33alvarez
00:46:36tied
00:46:37wildly
00:46:42they just look inspired though
00:46:44argentina
00:46:45a bit between the team
00:46:48so sharp
00:47:04contrast at the moment
00:47:05contrast at the moment
00:47:06france looking lethargic
00:47:07messi
00:47:11fernandez
00:47:12and the carna
00:47:12got enough of it for now
00:47:14but it's coming back
00:47:16fernandez
00:47:17alvarez
00:47:19fernandez
00:47:21to paul
00:47:23gunday
00:47:24watchfully out
00:47:25and barely further clear
00:47:26but it's coming back again
00:47:31right now argentina have france where they want them
00:47:35which is well
00:47:36as i've seen them play
00:47:37these first half an hour or so
00:47:39argentina
00:47:48was a good tackle
00:47:49from the carna
00:47:51had to be
00:47:57recalling too that
00:47:58he gave them the lead from the penalty spot
00:48:01went first
00:48:01they played on this ground
00:48:02back on the 22nd of november
00:48:04against saudi arabia
00:48:05and we all recall what happened thereafter
00:48:13risked forward by rabio
00:48:16up on romero's header
00:48:35nine of the last ten teams
00:48:37to score first
00:48:39in the world cup final
00:48:41have gone on
00:48:41to win it
00:48:44exception
00:48:45france
00:48:46you were one up
00:48:47courtesy of a zidane
00:48:49penalty
00:48:50in berlin
00:48:51in 2006
00:48:53you may recall
00:48:54zidane didn't complete that game
00:48:58in this game
00:49:00france
00:49:00have yet to have
00:49:02an attempt on goal
00:49:04just not got going
00:49:05and that's struggling
00:49:07to get a foot on the ball
00:49:09to find any rhythm at all
00:49:13messi
00:49:14through the pass
00:49:16di maria
00:49:17messi
00:49:19scratched out by kunde
00:49:24so fernandez
00:49:26he's been one of the
00:49:27unsung stars of this tournament
00:49:29for sure
00:49:34young
00:49:36but more than willing
00:49:37to take responsibility
00:49:39to take a foot on the
00:50:07large part of the job he does that's a fire he put out before it began to rage
00:50:14Messi oh lovely delightful Alvarez here's McAllister Di Maria is the spare man
00:50:21and how Di Maria glorious goal
00:50:28Argentine gold
00:50:34that is just beautiful
00:50:51one of the goals of the tournament in terms of teamwork no surprise that Lionel Messi's involved
00:51:00what about that for a little two-touch and afterwards you knew McAllister had seen his man
00:51:05you knew he was aware of where Di Maria was and you knew Di Maria was going to finish it
00:51:12that's exquisite the seemed and the inevitability about this they've just been too much for France
00:51:20the French can't cope with it they cannot cope absolutely brilliant
00:51:27Angel Di Maria who scored the goal which made them continental champions last year at the expense of
00:51:35Brazil has come up with another iconic Argentine moment
00:51:42tears
00:51:46he blinks back the moment
00:51:55and France have yet to land a punch
00:51:58and France are on the canvas
00:52:03have they what it takes to bounce off the canvas
00:52:07bounce off the ropes
00:52:09and make this final a contest
00:52:22the good news is there's still a large portion of this match to go
00:52:26but they've got to double their efforts
00:52:29they've certainly got to sharpen up front in every department of the pitch
00:52:35it's been a huge shock to see Argentina this superior
00:52:40I think we all came into this game expecting a really tight even contest
00:52:46it's been so one-sided so far
00:52:57Pallister downed by Quindley
00:52:59Pallister downed by Quindley
00:53:22and there's Griezmann
00:53:26Pappé
00:53:26it's a really good firm clear fair challenge from Romero
00:53:31and Messi's turning on halfway
00:53:37two goal deficit in the World Cup final has not been overturned since
00:53:421954 West Germany in Hungary
00:54:01Moran
00:54:03Quindley
00:54:04Griezmann
00:54:08Pappé
00:54:08just cannot progress
00:54:10to pull almost toying with the fern shot now
00:54:13Argentina
00:54:16teasing them
00:54:25and I dearly hope wherever you are in the world that you are getting a flavor for the mood here
00:54:33that you are getting a taste of the color because in an Argentine dominated stadium
00:54:41it is quite something
00:54:45and France are about to make a couple of changes
00:54:54that is the extent of the emergency
00:55:18here is the
00:55:25something this double substitution isn't it decisive management from Deschamps
00:55:31he is taking off Giroud he is taking off Dembele he's replacing them with
00:55:39Marcus Turan and also the guy who came off the bench and scored with his first touch in the
00:55:46semi-final Randal Colo Moani
00:55:53well it means Kylian Mbappe moving into the middle
00:56:01this is a special family moment because there is his dad Lillian who until very recently held the
00:56:10French Caps record and they become potentially well they become in the first instance the first
00:56:19father and son each to play in a world cup final and Marcus will hope that they become the first
00:56:24father and son to win a world cup final Lillian was part of the French triumph against Croatia in 1998
00:56:32he also played in 2006 when the French were beaten on penalties there have been great father and son
00:56:39combinations of course Maldini's and Schmeichels and Blintz but the Turans have a very very special story
00:56:47to tell
00:56:57they need a bit more aggression but they've got to be smart about it
00:57:04well the Moani scored with his first touch didn't he against Morocco
00:57:12Turan did well when he came on in that match on the left
00:57:17they had to change it really I didn't expect it to happen in the first half
00:57:24Fernandes what a wonderful ball and here's Di Maria
00:57:31when they stayed with him
00:57:35Polo Moani is caught on it
00:57:50well the point is Alan they can't yet get Mbappe properly in the game
00:57:56of the outfield players he has touched the ball the fewest times
00:58:00clean Mbappe yeah well he'll be hoping for a bit more joy through the middle
00:58:05they've got the measure of Giroud
00:58:08Otamendi Romero they were physical they were tight obviously it's a different story with the pace of
00:58:12Mbappe he's got to be careful he doesn't turn them
00:58:18from Eddie
00:58:22Rabiot
00:58:36I'm going to give credit to
00:58:38I'm going to give credit to
00:58:52to Scaloni, the Argentina coach,
00:58:54to the way he set up his team,
00:58:55but he wouldn't have thought
00:58:57France would be as passive as they have been.
00:59:08Hernandez, Mbappe,
00:59:10sliding through him was Romero.
00:59:14I've got to be careful, Romero, with those.
00:59:17His discipline has been really good in this tournament,
00:59:19but there are times when he over-commits.
00:59:35Kunde.
00:59:41Elamwani.
00:59:52And then there's back by Rabiot.
00:59:56Messi, in his own time.
01:00:00Joyful to watch.
01:00:03Not for the French.
01:00:11Seven minutes added on at the end of the first half.
01:00:18And we have that injury to Hugo Lloris.
01:00:22Banging the ribs.
01:00:25I think Deschamps will want to
01:00:28be desperate to get his players in that dressing room.
01:00:33Maybe some strong word said.
01:00:37Salio Fico's goal for Di Maria.
01:00:40Tell he was unreasonably bulked by Jean Koundé.
01:00:43He was happy enough.
01:00:57Alti Maria.
01:00:59Who won the penalty.
01:01:01With which
01:01:02Nero Messi established the Argentine lead.
01:01:06And then scored the goal that doubled that lead.
01:01:14Hit Jimmy streaming.
01:01:16Here's Hernandez.
01:01:22From Meccano.
01:01:24Catching as ever from Fernandes.
01:01:26But it's come to Mbappe.
01:01:29Turan.
01:01:39I think first and foremost
01:01:41France have got to start scrapping
01:01:43and winning those kind of
01:01:45loose balls.
01:01:49Stud's showing.
01:01:50That's why it goes against
01:01:51Hernandez.
01:01:54I think they realise the French
01:01:56that
01:01:58first and foremost
01:01:59is try and win your individual battles.
01:02:01Take it from there.
01:02:03Then you can
01:02:04start trying to play a bit of football.
01:02:05All right.
01:02:24Today we're going to block you.
01:02:51I see.
01:02:52I see.
01:02:53It's off to it.
01:02:53I ran away.
01:03:00I ran away by Rabiot.
01:03:24It's off to roll by Mbappe.
01:03:26Red went out fast by Romero.
01:03:40It's in the rear.
01:03:43Quotter roots.
01:03:45Round to Colin Moody.
01:03:47Just to be careful where he tries to take on his money.
01:03:50He was in his own half there.
01:03:55Colin Moody is a tall, rangy, leggy player.
01:04:01Easily bypassed to ramp.
01:04:08Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:04:38Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:05:08French strategic pair who've had many, many more good days than bad, but whose strategy
01:05:15here, for whatever reason, over the first 40 minutes plus has been simply overwhelmed
01:05:21by what Argentina have brought to the big day?
01:05:46And now they have something to cling to.
01:05:48Yeah, it's been, it's been the complete performance, first four to five from Argentina, the fluidity
01:05:53of the play with the ball, it's been the best yet in this tournament from the, before it
01:05:58was in glimpses, little snatches, Messi bringing things alive.
01:06:05Excellent, clean performance right through this side.
01:06:21Colomuani to hurdle the fullback.
01:06:29And then he said something out of turn there, but De Paul is also in the referee's ear, but
01:06:37it is Fernandes on the ground who is going to see the yellow card.
01:06:42Yeah, Colomuani has given them a bit more to think about over on that side, compared to
01:06:47Dembélé.
01:06:52Well now, these are going to be borrowed seconds at the end of the first half, during which
01:07:00once Fernandes has digested that yellow card, which on the face of it is finally pretty indigestible.
01:07:09He's just trying to waste time there, actually.
01:07:12But I think we did a whole lot wrong.
01:07:14And these are borrowed seconds, during which Scaloni will feel anxiety.
01:07:23Driven in by Griezmann, just too heavily for Varane, who was last to arrive.
01:07:35Half time.
01:07:37And Argentina have a hand on it.
01:07:41They have the players who have played.
01:07:44Messi is one of them.
01:07:45He converted a penalty midway through the half after Dembélé fouled Di Maria.
01:07:50And Di Maria himself finished the most sumptuous team move to double that advantage on 36 minutes.
01:07:58And Argentina are halfway there at half time in the 2022 World Cup final.
01:08:03It is Argentina 2, France 0.
