Argentina and France delivered a great World Cup final.
Read the interviews about the final.
Doha - what a game!
Argentina and France fought an epic duel in the World Cup final.
For a long time it looked like an unchallenged victory for the Albiceleste, Lionel Messi (13th) and Angel di Maria (36th) had given the South Americans a 2-0 lead before the break.
Little came from France until the final phase.
Then Kylian Mbappé finally ignited - and made it 2-2 in less than 100 seconds (80th, 81st).
In extra time, this endgame wrote even more madness chapters.
With a 3:3 penalty shoot-out, which the Argentines ultimately won.
We summarize the voices surrounding the finale here.
Emiliano Martinez (goalkeeper Argentina) after the game over...
... the finale: "We suffered.
At first we controlled the game, but then we gave it up.
Then the 3:2, then another penalty.
Thank god we made it after all.
It was an unbelievable finale, I would never have dreamed of it.
I have no words."
... the penalty shoot-out: "I always think of the team.
I know I have to parry.
I did what I could."
... the dedication of the title: "First and foremost, I dedicate this victory to my family.
I come from a very simple family, went to England very young.
I thank my family for the support.”
Bastian Schweinsteiger (ARD expert) after the game over ...
... the game: “I was happy that the French took part from the 80th minute.
But that was incredible from Argentina.
A monster performance to come back here again.”
