The Blues striker scored twice in the wake of his penalty to allow the French to return to the game in the final of Mo


We don't even have the words after screaming our throats out to celebrate this miracle.

Because frankly, the word is not usurped.

Adrift, picking up, on the street, what you want, in this World Cup final on Sunday in Lusail between France and Argentina, the Blues got back on their feet in less than two minutes, 94 seconds to be precise, to pick up the score.

France was down 2-0 in the 80th?

She is 2-2 in the 81st.

A madness that we tell you.

The Penalty of Hope

In the duel with Nicolas Otamendi, Randal Kolo Muani collapsed in the penalty area as the Argentine defender grabbed his shoulder.

Entering in place of Ousmane Dembélé shortly before the break, the Frankfurt striker is once again decisive after scoring the break goal against Morocco in the semi-final (2-0).

Kylian Mbappé relaunched a very badly started game by converting his penalty in the 80th minute.

The PSG striker crosses his attempt by shooting on the right of Emiliano Martinez, yet started on the right side.

Transparent so far, the native of Bondy scored there the sixth goal of his World Cup, returning to the height of Lionel Messi, also scorer on penalty in the first period.

The magic combination to stick together

Let's try to sum up this moment of grace.

Messi collects the ball on the right, and runs to the opposite wing.

The PSG star lost the ball, recovered by Kingsley Coman, who entered in the second half.

The rest is exceptional: the Bayern Munich winger serves Adrien Rabiot in the middle, who alerts Kylian Mbappé in the air.

The latter handed over the header for Marcus Thuram, who also entered at the end of the second period, who immediately handed him over for a one-two.

The Parisian's superb strike in the box leaves Martinez no chance.

Mbappé is jubilant, immediately celebrated by all of his partners.

With this achievement, the Parisian stands alone at the top of the scorers' rankings with seven goals, the highest total since the Brazilian Ronaldo in 2002. Scorer four years ago in the final in Russia against Croatia, the prodigy becomes the fifth player in history to score three goals in one or more World Cup finals.

He joins his compatriot Zinédine Zidane, the Brazilians Vava and Pelé, and the Englishman Geoff Hurst.

A little more in the legend.
