What an epic final soccer game we have seen on the 22th of the World Cup in Qatar. In the final game between Argentina versus France, the drama has already started in the first twenty minutes. Precisely on the 23th minute of the while Angel Di Maria was dancing over Dembele and got a push by him on his back. Referree with no doubt pointed on pinalty spot. Again, Lionel Messi with his cheeky kick conquer Lloris and Argentina lead 1-0 over France.

Argentina's lead continued when a swift Argentine counterattack, a backheel from Messi found Alvarez who then crossed for Di Maria. Without mercy, Di Maria with his magical left foot put the ball into Hugo Lloris' goal. Argentina was leading 2-0 until the end of the first half ended. France did not performed well at all during this first round. I thought that this match would be won by Argentina with many additional goals in the second half.

In the first fifteen minutes of the second half, Argentina still controlled the game very well. What crossed my mind, This is going to be a very boring match, remember me in the last match of WC 98 when Brazil was beaten by France 3-0. But then the momentum of France's revival began shortly after Angel Di Maria was pulled out by coach Lionel Scaloni. Slowly but surely France gained momentum to control the game and came out on the attack. Kylian Mbappe became the biggest scourge in the last 10 minutes. His two goals in just one minute later brought France level at 2-2. It was a very tense drama that made the French fans smile again after being gripped by the thought of defeat in the previous hour and a half.

Back to 15 minutes of added time, Mbappe really became a scourge for the Argentine defense. His acceleration and explosiveness are truly terrifying. Until the 118th minute, the exact same minute when Argentina had to give up the championship crown in 2014 when Germany beat them in the final through Mario Goetze's goal, Mbappe's penalty kick after previously hitting the Argentine's hand in the penalty box, successfully bending Emilliano Martinez for the third time. France's chance to fail at the end of the match through Kolo Muani was very stifling. Martinez successfully thwarted Muani's goal in a one-on-one situation. Likewise, Argentina counterattacked shortly after, Lautaro Martinez failed to maximize the cross with his header which went wide.

Epic story continues to shoot penalties. The ending that followed was the happy laughter of the Argentina squad and all their supporters. Not only in their country, in our country Indonesia the joy of celebration also occurs. Especially for loyal fans of Lionel Messi. The star's smile paid off in the 2014 final defeat and the previous World Cup defeat to France in the quarter-finals. Messi's struggle in the national team is indeed a long journey that drains a lot of emotions. Always compared to Diego Maradona, now the inauguration of the world football king of all time has finally been completed. Perfect, Lionel; The King Finally crowned.
