After 36 years of disappointment after disappointment, Argentina have finally won the FIFA World Cup for a third time.
And they did it in the most dramatic of fashions.
Having dominated the opening 75 minutes of the game and taken a seemingly unassailable lead thanks to goals from Lionel Messi and Angel Di Maria, a quickfire brace from Kylian Mbappe would send the final to extra time.
Argentina once again thought they'd won it with an extra time goal from Messi, before Mbappe stepped up to score a penalty, make it 3-3, and take the game to a dramatic penalty shootout - a shootout that La Albiceleste would win 4-2.
It's fair to say that the winning penalty from Gonzalo Montiel was well received back in Buenos Aires:
WHAT A MOMENT! 🙌 ❤️
