The question came up before the final was over. Is the final match between France and Argentina the best final match in World Cup history? The answer to most football analysts is 'yes'. However, in such a final, the beginning was very one-sided.
Didier Deschamps' team could not be found on the field in the first half. France came back into the match late in the second half. Kylian Mbappe's magic of 97 seconds. After scoring the first goal in the 80th minute, Mbappe scored the second goal within a minute. Mbappe, who brought the French back into the match at the end of the first half, gave the team a 2-0 goal behind.
Mbappe encouraged his teammates by saying that it is possible to return to the match even after conceding 2 goals. He showed what he did on the field in the second half. Mbappe told his teammates in the dressing room, "It's the World Cup final. It is a life-death struggle. It is not possible to play worse than what I played in the first half. Either just let Argentina play like this, or step up your game. They scored two goals, we can too. We can get back into the game. But the World Cup comes only once in four years!
What Mbappe did on the field after that is history. The PSG star became the first footballer since Geoff Hurst to score a hat-trick in the final. Won the Golden Boot. But nothing was enough for France to retain the title.
Not only Mbappe, Didier Deschamps was also angry at the end of the first half. For not being able to play on the field as a team, he washed the whole team, "Thinking should be more clear while making decisions." We are not playing as a team. Distance between themselves should be reduced in the field. There is no second chance to win the World Cup. It looks like you are not playing in the World Cup final. Where do you know the difference between Argentina and France? They're going all out in the finals, you're not.'
