Hurst pays tribute as Mbappé joins him in hat-trick club
Messi duly scored the opening goal from the spot, made by Di María. The second for
Argentina was a wonderful team goal. Messi had a hand at the start, producing a sublime 45-degree pass.
Di María finished expertly, then just kind of collapsed, drunk on the glory, the noise the space, the light.
Didier Deschamps ripped up his attack. France sat on the game for a bit. And so the twists began. Mbappé
made it 2-1 on 80 minutes, then 2-2 with a beautifully pure finish. In the VVIP boxes Emmanuel Macron
“went off on one”, the gravely intellectual president of the republic hooting, leaping and honking like a
startled goose.
Argentina had gone. The team that seemed to be romping like handsome schoolboys towards glory looked
frazzled, lost, done. Then Argentina came back, scoring again through Messi, before Mbappé levelled it
again from the spot. Then came penalties and that final moment of grace.
