That save by Emiliano Martinez in the 123rd minute will live on in history forever

Messi is the Best Player Ever 👌

An unbelievable game, so many twist and turns. Messi finally gets the only trophy that eluded him, a great result for football.

The best final I have ever seen in my life. Congratulations Leo and Argentina 🇦🇷

Alvarez, Macalister, Messi were immense all game. Absolute deserved victory 🙌🏻

Lautaro giving me PTSD of Higuain and Palacios 😂.

This final will live forever. 🇦🇷👏🏻

I knew Di Maria was gonna be magic when I saw the smile he had on his face even before the first goal happened. He was channelling his inner Ronaldinho joy of the game.

Everyone talks about Emiliano Martinez and Messi but what a performance from MacAlister and Rodrigo dePaul... they were doing WORK for entire game and only subbed out in overtime. Insane conditioning and heart.

I am going to watch this video again again and again...

For the one that said Argentina did not had a team to go all the way? We salute you, this team was build around MESSI (GOAT)

I can’t say I’m a big fan of Di Maria, but he has ‘completed football’ as well. He has now won the World Cup and Copa America with Argentina, plus an Olympic gold medal in 2008 (scoring in all 3 winning finals to top things off), the Champions League with Real Madrid in 2014 (producing a wonderful assist for Bale’s goal in the final and winning the man of the match award), league titles in Portugal, Spain and France, and domestic cups in Spain and France (scoring in the 2014 Copa del Rey final). That’s some CV.

Lionel Messi has completed the most beautiful story in football and no one will ever take it away from him anymore. The greatest football player in the history of the sport.

Messi truly deserve it all he has worked very very very hard .....hail the 🐐 ✌️

Messi just became Immortal in the history of football. From now on people will not only say "Pele and Maradona." They'll say "Messi, Pele and Maradona." Messi the GOAT. 👑👑👑

It was the best final I ever watched. Football is beautiful.

Messi did not only deserve it. Messi and the Argentine team EARN IT by playing with style and suffering with determination until the last minute. Messi is the best soccer player ever. Argentina has the third World Cup!!! ... and I need a heart transplant.....

It's still crazy to think how much talent France has that they can miss Benzema, Kante, and Pogba and still be that close to winning it all again.

Everyone forgot dimaria. Scaloni absolutely outcoached Deschamps. Argentina s absolutely deserving to win this.

Mbappe threw the sink and then lifted and threw the house itself. What a leviathan. What a final. Finally Istanbul is eclipsed.

no MORE debate, GOAT. To do what he done at 35 wont be replicated ever again

He beat the old generation when he was young, beat the current in his prime, and now beat the future generation of football. no other football player has done that before other then pelé

Can we speak about how Đybala played 1 minute the whole cup and ended taking a penalty in the final.

Di Maria was substituted ten minutes too early; this game would have ended in regular time if he had remained on the pitch a little longer. With him on the pitch, the French were amplified, but it all worked out in the end and made for a nervy and exciting final.

Messi,Di mariah n Emiliano martinez were the major heroes in this epic final,the greatest ever tense final.Mbappe was just something else.The best player to get the baton from the Ultimate GOAT.

What is football without Messi one of the greatest of all time this guy a legend for real

I told my son 'Argentina will win if the match ends up in penalty shoot out. Why? Because Hugo Loris is the worst penalty saver in the world while Emile Martinez is sure of saving at least 2 pen.. It lived up to expectations, dramas, full of suspect, rollercoaster of emotions. The match has all the sauce and pepper, Argentina was dominant in 70% of the time, Messi and Di Maria were exceptional but Mbabpe ultimately achieved his Golden boot dream thanks to Kingsley Coman and Kamavinga who added the much needed energy to wake up the sleeping French team. At the end Mbabpe got the Golden boot, Messi got the Golden cup. What a World Cup final we just watched in our lifetime

Greatest player of all time. Greatest World Cup of all time. Grateful. 🇦🇷

I’ve learned so much about good football watching this game. Amazing match! Congratulations Argentina. Love from Brazil 🇧🇷 ❤

Best episode ever. Watching the crew almost everyday- thank you all for the coverage! Vamos!

what we all been waiting for Messi lifting that world cup trophy very proud 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🙏😉🏆

What a final. As someone who has been a Messi fan since he broke through at Barca, to see him win the world cup in possibly last game ever is just poetic. For me, he proved he was the best ever a long time ago. The needing to win a world cup argument has always been flawed; given a team wins a trophy, not one player. As great as he is, he's relying on ten others to do their jobs. That point was also perfectly demonstrated in this game; by the fact Mbappe scored three and still ended up on the losing team. Anyway, it's so unreal to see Messi win it. Not only is he so incredible as an individual but has always been such a team player. Even at 35 remains a class apart from the rest as an overall attacker. Mbappe has what it takes to become one of the best ever; yet as great as he is in terms of his speed, directness and finishing, Messi offers so much more with his passing and ability to dictate the play. To think he's still competing on the biggest stage with the best of this new generation just underlines further why he's the greatest of all time.

This was the best final I’ve ever seen what a moment Surely This Now Ends the GOAT Debate Even as a Lifelong Manchester United Fan I Acknowledge Messi As The Goat 🐐🇦🇷

Messi what Legendary player. Mbappe what a young player. Football is magic

All said- it was Messi's World Cup, n he surely deserved it to finish off his amazing 25-year football career. N of course, Mbappe has earned himself a place to bring his game to another level in the next 3 to 4 years. What a game that has all the ingredients with dramatic plots and stars n co stars like a Blockbuster Movie over 2 hrs 👏 👏 👏

Each and every player gave their life on the pitch for Messi

the biggest surprise to me in all this is a- how good messi has become at taking penalties compared to the past b- how he finally showed up in the world knockout stages and especially the final. He finally translated his club form into the world cup. It's a shame we never got to see ronaldo do that.

8th Balon d’Or for Messi incoming… unbelievable..

Great world final. Respect and congratulations to Messi and his mates. So much love for Deschamps for his great management skills. Kudos to Morocco, the great African representative. And to Qurter, you have done extremely well in organisation, thank you.

The GOAT now there is no debate 💪💪💪 Vamos Messi

What an unreal final. Something I’ll remember for the rest of my life

I don't know when I will stop remembering this Mundial....makes me happy It’s oct 22 2023… a player who I didn’t know was on the team is banned for testing positive for PEDs (steroids). Messi has been the most tested athlete for PEDs in history. His unplanned testing started like 2002. Do you think Real Madrid would not want him tested all the time?

Best World Cup final I’ve ever seen. the deserving team won. Argentina were never trailing once in the match. Overall, they were the better team & played like they just wanted it more.

The best decision Messi ever made was to leave Barcelona. The moment he left Barcelona, he and Argentina were doing a lot better FACTS

Mr.Ottamendi suddenly thought at 78 min oh this game is so boring let’s make it as interesting

Greatest player of all time Messi👑🐐

One of the best football game ever. It has everything, it was chaotic and it felt like both team deserved to win..france came alive from 70 min onwards and mbappe was lethal, argentina outplayed france for a while but they were surprised after the first goal and the full time whistle really saved them. And then the extra time..speechless

Crazy that all these dudes will go back and play in the same team like they didn't just scrap it out in the middle of the desert for ultimate glory. Neymar,messi,Mbappe and hakimi deserve huge respect for the level they showed. PSG really has all the gems, I hope they win a CL to top it all off next year.from a madrid fan

Greatest Football game ever played , the tension was just incredible lord I couldn’t stand it…..

The 2nd goal was amazing. That counter attack!

Best ever world Cup and a victory by a best player in the world❤

The best WC final ive ever seen(after 70 mins) in the best WC ever...never thought I would feel this bad for Mbappe...I thpught his performance alone desetved the WC again

Macallister, Enzo Fernandez and Rodrigo De paul dominated the midfield I was so impressed by scaloni tactics on covering all France moves...it was a great final to re-watch again...France were out of the game until the last 14mins when the pen and brilliant kick of mbappe came on. But all congrats to Messi and The whole entire Argentina team for always be calm and patient....great performance from the coaching staff Fans,Legend support and to goal keeper Martinez. What a great game

From France, well deserved Argentina. We could’nt play football for 70 min. Too strong. But mbappe was so tough that we could steal that trophy. That was an epic final, maybe the best OAT. There is some consolation here for us.

THE BEST WORLD CUP FINAL EVER!

This got be the greatest football match in recorded history, not even Remontada, I can’t think of any match 🤔

Messi will forever go down as best player ever for me and i guess for the world too

I am absolute out of words for this 2022 WC FINAL. Simply legendary!

This is easily one of the most, if not the most exciting and nail-biting final in World Cup history. All the elements were there; drama, unexpected twists and turns, jubilant celebrations, ecstasy to disappointments, dejection and deflated hopes. Yes, soccer is a team sport. But there's no denying that Messi and Mbappe made an appreciable difference to such an exciting final. In the end, the Argentinian goalkeeper made the difference. Happy for Messi & Co. Congrats to Argentina, fans and supporters. Consolation for Les Bleus and France, fans and supporters. Especially happy for Messi the GOAT, who finally realised his long unfulfilled dream of bringing the WC home. But the future belongs to younger men like Mbappe.

Has to be the most dramatic World Cup Final ever

that last save from martinez was amazing, then when shootout happent, i already knew, emi will save at least 2 kicker from france

This was the most epic final ever! Unbelievable drama! At the end Argentina wins and Messi cements his status as the greatest player ever. Unfortunate for Mbappe who scores a hat trick but loses the final.

Truly the best player we've seen so far in professional football history. There simply is no other. This was a fitting conclusion to the end of the GOAT story. Likely bowing out of intl football with the world cup, a final puzzle piece of success that evaded him for so long. Messi has now done it all👑🐐

Thank you Argentina for giving us so much joy 🥳🇦🇷🇦🇷 shout out from central America 🇨🇷🇭🇳🇧🇿, Messi deserves it for all these years of great football he's giving us to enjoy.

Messi was great. I am so happy he won it. He has given us people all over the world so much joy from his game. He really deserved it. People kept saying Maradona won it and Messi has not inspite of Messi having contributed so much to Argentina. So justice finally.

Came here to hear Shaka say Messi still needs one more wc trophy. 🤣🤣🤣 Just laughs. Kudos to the entire crew. Marhaba

Messi also defended he wanted this so bad I never seen him taking the ball defensively like in this game

i still cant believe that Argentina won the world cup... my heart stopped after the 2-2

So happy for Messi and Argentina

Watched over the game … messi was outstanding as well

Whenever i feel down, i listen to this... 2024 and it still feels surreal... I love messi man, he is sth else.

The best team won, French team almost broke my heart and billions of hearts by netting 3 goals. But thanks to the Argentina for winning back from penalties. Now Messi got his well deserved World Cup.

Messi is Maradona everyday of the week, something which even Maradona wasn't able to sustain. He is simply the best.

Best final ever - possibly best wc (at least one of top 3) - with happy endings

Not a Messi fan but the man is jus NOT FROM THIS PLANET EARTH 🌎 💯 ..

Thank you Emi Martinez for that last minute save

Messi is god

Mbappe say south America football not the same level as European, what team got outplayed the 80 mins of the world cup final.

The GOAT. No debate now.

Congratulations... I'm a CR7 Fan...But now Messi has made the top Stage with Pele an Marandona...🤟🏾

If Frank is gonna talk about referee decisions, then there was no 2nd pen for France because there was a handball by Upemecano first from the corner before Monteal's handball

We are still celebrating the world cup 🎉

Had to be one of the greatest WC Final Matches of ALL TIME!!! This match had EVERYTHING 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. It will be an instructional masterclass on how to play football for generations to come!

My blood pressure dropped, I bit all my nails, couldn’t sleep for days and my head was pounding…THAT’s THE POWER OF SOCCER FOR ARGENTINIANS😂😂😂

I'm a die hard Madrid fan but Mbappe has won my heart and respect back for lifeeeeeeee after what he did yesterday night. I don't care if he ends up in Barca, I'll be the first to celebrate when he scores against us regardless of where he plays!!! This guy is the future of football ❤️❤️🤍🤍🤍🙌🏾 RESPECT 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

You forgot the 94th min Messi powerful shot. Llorris did a great job, things should’ve been sealed right there for Argentina

point of correction not all around the country but the world the whole world is happy Messi toke it he stole our heart in his debut at Bacelona and we wished him the best retirement with the global trophy

I loved when they put the cape on Messi. It’s like they’re immortalizing him as the King of Football.

I love this show...Congratulations to Argentina!!! 😁👌

GOAT status cemented!

It’s nearly a year later and I still haven’t processed the anxiety from this game. I still can’t catch my breath

Yes Messi is the 🐐, the team was built around him, but let’s not take anything away from the rest of the team. You need the full team to win a tournament like this, not just 1 player. You forget the keeper saving them in the penalty shootouts as well.

What a performance by Argentina. Thanks for the commentary guys, been an absolute pleasure ❤

Congratulations to Argentina.The full European team that beat the mixed national team of Africa!!!

The Argentine players were willing to go all the way; true warriors indeed! They lifted themselves up and fought bravely against one of the best teams on paper. Well deserved win!

Full credit to both sides for playing hard and fighting hard, but only one team can win and it was the right result in the end.

Mbappe was just as impressive as Messi, only difference is that Messi also assists quite beautifully. Mbappe does too, but he is more of a goal machine =)

Can't help but to feel bad mbappe. Their is only so much one guy can do for his team.

Messi the greatest footballer in history.
