00:00which one will be written few get to walk this path fewer still get more than one shot at the
00:07greatest glory the game has to give yet for six of the french squad there's the chance to add
00:11their names to the list of 12 only 12 men who've played in two world cup final wins
00:18and for one in the argentina camp this is the second and last chance to add that
00:28on the 18th of december in the desert it is the final countdown
00:36away we go argentina looking to win the world cup for south america for the first time since 2002
00:46and again from messi and he tried a little lift in for alvarez who was offside
00:52but he made ugo lorice register his first bit of work
01:00commanding header but the referee is unhappy with upper meccano straight away over the top of messi
01:08yeah don't mind listen kunde just enough on it to find dembele griezmann
01:16nice flick from alvarez and lorice watched it all the way into his clutches as alexis
01:23mccallister let fly yeah well the french have started the game poorly too many loose touches
01:29messi commits a foul free kick france
01:37depaul rodrigo depaul it's deflected behind it came off a run and it is an argentina corner
01:43as the side in the sky blue and white got busy yet more good stuff from argentina
01:49on that left hand side di maria creating the chance
01:55not have the chance to torment those in front of him yet he's done well there rabio look for the
02:00return
02:01martinez has it
02:05yet first sighting of mbappe looked sharp just couldn't quite get the ball back to him
02:10rabio and he's been starved initially in this game killing mbappe
02:18this could maybe do with a spell of passing but
02:20teo hernandez has been guilty more than once of losing possession
02:24pulled back by the pole missed by messi di maria
02:28got it at the wrong time right underneath it as it bounced up it's just bobbling in it again frat's
02:35giving the ball away this just keeps himself on side the pole it's a lovely cutback messi couldn't
02:42quite get on it and he's bobbling into di maria you can see he's really concentrating to try and keep
02:49it down but on his weaker side just couldn't quite make we can see where he's going to be aiming
02:58right into that spot over the top of everybody came olivia girou with a little too much vim and
03:05vigor he's given a free kick the referee let's have another look at it i mean truda seems to attack
03:09it
03:12nothing but his eyes on the ball in fairness to him lovely swivel of the hips down goes di maria
03:17penalty
03:18argentina no hesitation from the referee dembele got too close
03:30it looks clumsy you have to say you can see what di maria wants to do straight away the minute
03:35goes biden and now the focus is on leonor messi
03:51messi scores
04:01all of those goals all of those moments in a magical career
04:07a simple stroke of the ball from 12 yards out tops the mark
04:13a goal in the biggest match of all for one of the greatest players of all
04:22look at the focus the coolest man in the building
04:29up goes teo hernandez and he's gone down on the edge of the box now the referee has given that
04:35one to
04:35argentina and it looks like a clash of heads he's calling for immediate attention
04:40hernandez is holding his ribs
04:43messi down holding his head that's why
04:51hernandez's hand
04:54alvarez
04:57came off the wrong part of the boot all together
05:00well well wide of the target
05:03would have been some effort
05:05messi turns it out to alvarez who gets it through
05:09and that's mccallister looking at di maria
05:32argentino well on top in the world cup final
05:42and all the boys of yesteryear are up celebrating that one
05:48he is on it
05:54he's the man that got this going for argentina because he scored the winner in the copra america final
06:00last year which ended their long run of international drought now look at this there is a double change
06:06being made by didier deschamps before half time dembele is off and Giroud is going again
06:16there has been precious little sign of anything from the defending world champions so far
06:28the france substitutes have done pretty well since coming on and that was emphasized there by colo moana
06:33there's just been a little bit more energy from him and from
06:36to ram on this coming on and that was emphasized there by colo moana there's just been a little bit
06:40more energy from him and from to ram on the other side
06:44i thought he was trying to swerve the yellow card portion is confirmed but moran won't get there
07:00and there won't be anything back for france before the break that's the beauty of a high line
07:05it's really difficult to go ball from griezmann
07:11and that is the break towards the end of the first half by didier deschamps he was not hanging around
07:25fernandez and lorice had to come and get it and he came and got it a little belatedly but at
07:31least
07:31he got there well he can't believe it michalester i think he almost stops his run you can't really see
07:36in those pictures but he was de maria de paul wants it over on the other side there is de
07:42paul
07:43technique was good just straight at lorice yeah everything about the move was good
07:50as soon as they win it they're just on you
07:52a long way from goal there martinez and he's made a real hatch of it
08:02rodrigo de paul again and he's been stopped by the outstretched leg of edrian rabia
08:08and he's going to get a yellow card
08:18i'm saying he got the ball
08:21i'm not sure you did it's nowhere near it no bad challenge right he maybe just got a little nick
08:28of
08:28it but not enough that's no matter i'm still down de paul
08:34whether it was sneaking inside or not
08:38it's always going to be tough though from that angle to beat lorice
08:41round for the outside i feel
09:03i think it just gets something on this before messi strikes it brilliant from de maria again
09:08let's have a look at he's about to strike this messi there little touch from rabia onto him
09:15that's why it goes wide
09:19a vital interception from adrian rabia that might just keep
09:25messi alvarez alvarez plays it in lorice gets there with the tackle
09:33mccallister left thumping the picture
09:36fighting in the middle that's what they need
09:39won't get another corner though goal kick argentina
09:42and a little bit of afters romero involved he's been keen to make his mark all game he should do
09:47better
09:47he's there watches it all the way it comes off his shoulder of mohani
09:52he's been kicked a fair bit too
09:55and lorice
09:57otamendi had the head start but he's been beaten now by turan and turan's down and that's going to be
10:02a penalty
10:05possibly a way back beckons for france
10:11oh it was that
10:12oh it was that colomuane who got goal side of otamendi no it's poor poor from otamendi in an argentina
10:19shirt
10:19probably bigger than this
10:23and mbappe to get the game back on
10:29to get the game back on
10:29he's done it
10:32and france are now in one big hurry
10:35and a says the president
10:41it's game on
10:43and it's massive from mbappe
10:45he goes the right way martinez
10:48about france
10:50the desire that's been missing
10:55mbappe gets the return
11:15in a flash
11:18in a heartbeat
11:20in under 90 seconds of the match
11:23france have come from 2-0 down
11:25to be level
11:27and it is their star
11:30their 10
11:31who has the x-factor
11:35well they're out of it
11:37they were finished
11:39but when you've got world-class talent
11:43in your team
11:44you've always got a chance
11:46and that
11:48is sensational
11:49a one-two
11:51and a finish
11:53to die for
11:55it was messi who lost the ball
11:59fernandez
12:00lines up a mark
12:01from tiram
12:02mbappe now
12:03looking for color
12:04moane
12:06who couldn't stay high enough
12:07for long enough
12:08oh well these two
12:10moane and tiram
12:12have come to life
12:14all of a sudden
12:16that's bounced off rapio
12:17is that another penalty
12:18no the referee's giving it the other way
12:21and the yellow card is out as well
12:25shown to tiram
12:31well it's going to be interesting to have a look at it
12:33he's nodding
12:35which indicates to me that he did dive
12:38it's competition when they haven't
12:39and there's mbappe going again
12:41and that's deflected
12:42and it might be a good job
12:43but it was
12:44it's going to be a corner
12:45and he is now
12:46absolutely hell-bent
12:48on winning this world cup final
12:49single-handedly
12:50he wants his atrip
12:51it's a big block
12:53i think from otamendi
12:53just hangs his leg out
12:56breezing past the challenges
12:57before being fouled
12:58just outside
12:59but the advantage is played
13:00rabio shot
13:01martinez couldn't hold it
13:03but he's got it now
13:07it's brilliant from co-man
13:10so sharp
13:11what a game
13:20it was so close
13:22to the ball
13:25and the game for now
13:26is over
13:27but thankfully
13:28for those of us who love
13:30thrilling football
13:32at the highest level possible
13:34we're going to get at least
13:35another half hour of this
13:37because of him
13:38Kylian Mbappe
13:39who came alive
13:41when his country needed him
13:42Argentina 2
13:45France 2
13:54so away we go
13:55it is the
13:59eighth time

14:05Kuna
14:06wicked ball in
14:08the strike that followed
14:10wasn't
14:11quite so accomplished
14:12from McAllister
14:12telling us some clearance
14:14is by Varane by the way
14:17under a lot of pressure
14:18was whipped in
14:19by Akuna
14:23Mbappe
14:24offside
14:25but it didn't work anyway
14:27Mbappe was just caught
14:28by the challenge
14:31he's absolutely nailed him here
14:33Romero
14:34he's got no thought
14:35at all
14:36of like staying with him
14:37as soon as Mbappe turns
14:39he just
14:39he just hits him
14:42Messi will be challenged
14:43by Camavinga
14:44it's flighted back in
14:46by de Paul
14:47got flighted out
14:48goal kick France
14:55that's brilliant work
14:56and that will be a free kick
14:57for France
14:57much better
14:59so good
15:00they're fired up
15:01look at them
15:02just terrific
15:03Farnett
15:03Coman's racing
15:04to get their first again
15:05Messi was their first
15:06but it will now be a France corner
15:15just a word
15:16whilst we can
15:17for Mr Marciniak
15:18the best advert
15:19I've ever seen
15:20not just today
15:21but over the last few seasons
15:22for some professionals
15:23at the top level
15:24going into refereeing
15:26knows the game
15:27100% yeah
15:30been very very good
15:32the follow-up
15:33from Montiel
15:34and another one
15:35this time
15:35Varane in the way
15:38well he just injected some
15:39pace into the play
15:40Messi
15:41brilliant link up
15:42between him and Martínez
15:43away with it
15:44and looks to find
15:45Lautaro
15:45Martínez
15:47Martínez
15:47puts it wide
15:53claims a corner
15:53doesn't get it
15:56that's a brilliant run
15:57and the perfect ball
15:59the touch is fine
16:01he's claiming a corner
16:02let's have a look
16:02yeah I think he's right
16:05up on Makano
16:06there again
16:07again two huge
16:09huge bits of defending
16:11to keep his
16:12he's been put through it
16:14as well
16:20not Lavor Ford
16:21but Lloris is ready for it
16:22just got there
16:24in the nick of time
16:28Messi
16:30must have been moving
16:31Lloris down it
16:32seemed in labored fashion
16:33but he got down
16:34and made absolutely sure
16:37and there's a little bit
16:38of debate about whether
16:39it's
16:39there's Messi
16:41Messi wants it again
16:42Lloris in the way
16:43was it off the line
16:44or over the line
16:45the referee's had a look
16:47at the watch
16:47and the referee has pointed
16:52to the middle
16:52and said goal
17:04he will be looked at
17:06but for now
17:08it is an all
17:09Argentinian all-in celebration
17:15Mbappe wants clarification
17:18Messi is in the middle of that pack
17:20he might have just
17:21losing
17:22he's been good
17:24hasn't got his goal
17:25but he's been really good
17:27and Varane was absolutely
17:29gone in the legs
17:30doing well with it too
17:32take it out
17:34that is cynical
17:37that is
17:38none shall pass
17:39to the extreme
17:42it's a bad challenge
17:44it really is
17:46there's Mbappe
17:48it was charged at
17:50and the referee says
17:54just outside hasn't he
17:56he pointed at the spot
17:57I'm sure he did
17:59he did
18:01and the arm came out
18:03for sure
18:10surely not a time to be cute
18:15instinct will take over
18:20and Mbappe
18:22is the man
18:27a hat-trick
18:28in the biggest game of all
18:353-3
18:37this will surely lay claim to be the greatest world cup final that's ever been seen
18:46we've just seen
18:48the president
18:51and that boy's a king
18:55the hat-trick in a world cup final
18:57looking in the middle
18:59looking in the middle for Colin Mbappe
18:59and he
19:02he just needed a little bit more
19:06the tiniest more touch on it
19:09but that was the moment
19:12he just couldn't quite get there
19:16he's stretching
19:17and praying they can just get anything on that
19:21Messi
19:21La Terra Martinez
19:24is he strong enough?
19:25is he cool enough?
19:26Lloris is
19:27and the flag is up for offside
19:33more pump forward
