The Blues have returned from the devil Vauvert.
Led 0-2 and totally apathetic in this World Cup final against Argentina, the Tricolores were able to count on a double from the inevitable Kylian Mbappé to restore hope to all of France.
Returning to 2-2, the men of Didier Deschamps even seemed to take the lead over the Albiceleste.
But Lionel Messi, scorer on penalty in the first period, caused yet another wind of fear among French supporters with a powerful strike triggered 90 seconds from the final whistle of Polish referee Szymon Marciniak.
Launched on the left side by Miguel Acuña, Julian Alvarez gets on his right foot to replay in the axis.
Lionel Messi inherits the ball, places himself on his left foot and arms a monstrous left-footed shot that clearly went in the direction of the goal.
But that was without counting on this exceptional save from Hugo Lloris who, with his left hand, managed to deflect the trajectory of the ball and deprive the Albiceleste - at least temporarily - of a third world championship title.

Unable to decide between themselves at the end of eight minutes of additional time, the two teams now have 30 additional minutes to tip the balance in their favor.
And in view of the first catastrophic period of the Blues, it's quite miraculous.
