Chapter 265 The ups and downs of the World Cup final

At 23 o'clock on the 18th, Yanjing time, at the Lusail Stadium, the Catarila World Cup will usher in the final showdown, with the Pampas Eagles Argentina against the Gallic Roosters France.

Four years ago at the World Cup in Russia, the two teams met in the first round of the knockout round.

In that game, Messi provided two assists and Argentina briefly led France, but Mbappe led France 4-3 with two goals and a penalty.

In the history of the World Cup, Argentina won the World Cup twice, in 1978 and 1986, while France won the trophy twice in 1998 and 2018.

The winning side will be the first to complete the "three-star" glory.

As for the stars of both teams, Messi and Mbappe, both currently lead the scorers with five goals, and whoever can score more goals will have a chance of becoming the Golden Boot of this World Cup.

Messi has already stated that the Catarila World Cup will be his last time as a player.

Messi has won the league title, the Champions League, and the Copa America in his career, but he lacks a World Cup.

France's Kylian Mbappe is looking forward to enjoying the joy of successfully defending his title.

The 35-year-old Messi vs. the 24-year-old Mbappe has undoubtedly become the biggest attraction of this final.

Messi, who has played in five consecutive World Cups, has broken a series of records, and he has scored five goals at the World Cup in Catarila, bringing his total number of goals in the World Cup finals to 12, surpassing Batistuta to become Argentina's top scorer in the World Cup.

He also surpassed German legend Mateus to become the player with the most World Cup appearances in 26 games.

Before the game, many fans outside the Lusail Stadium, wearing Argentine and French jerseys, walked on the streets and cheered for their national teams.

Li Xia's VIP viewing seat has added a few new faces this time.

In order to express his gratitude to Li Xia and also to watch the World Cup final, Wang Daren bought a lot of gifts and flew to Katarilla on his private jet.

He was accompanied by the coal boss who invested in Li Xia last time, and each of these three people brought two female companions.

This made Lu Fang envious, and several people with similar interests quickly called him brothers.

"Xiao Fang, how did you buy this ball game?" Wang Daren put his arm around a beautiful woman and asked with a smile.

Lu Fang replied with a smile: "1 million France." ”

Wang Daren waved his hand, shook his head and said: "The World Cup is only once every four years, 1 million is too small, you still buy France, you can't think about it!" ”

"How much did Brother Wang buy?" Lu Fang asked with a smile.

Wang Daren stretched out three fingers and said: "I buy 30 million Argentina, I am a coal boss, and I must support Boss Mei!" ”

Li Xia on the side was a little unsettled.

30 million?

This is enough to make a movie about youth idols that makes sure you don't lose money.

It's a lot of unthinkable to buy any wrecking balls.

"I said, Brother Wang, you're playing a bit big, aren't you afraid that the 30 million will be lost?"

"It's okay, it's okay! If you lose the 30 million, you can make a few more movies and help my brother earn it back. ”

Wang Daren's words made Li Xia even more speechless.

What's the idea?

Who do you think you are?

Is it really in response to a classic sentence on the Internet in the previous life, "Brother is like TT, no matter how big the basket you poke, he can help you hold ······"

Han Zhengling and Li Jianguo looked at Li Xia in unison.

His eyes were full of questions, as if he was asking Li Xia if he had bought it.

Li Xia shook his head again and again, he didn't have this hobby.

Having money to make a movie doesn't make more than that!

On the field, the entrance ceremony ended.

The referee blew the whistle and the game officially began.

In the 23rd minute of the first half, France's Rabiot was fouled and received a yellow card, Argentina got a penalty opportunity, and Messi won the first goal for Argentina.

It was also Messi's sixth goal in this World Cup.

In the 36th minute, Di Maria scored another goal for Argentina to set the stage for the first half.

Di Maria burst into tears after the goal. Eight years ago, in the World Cup final, he was absent due to injury, and the picture of tears on the field at that time once made fans sad.

However, in the second half, in the 80th minute, France was awarded a penalty kick, and Mbappe scored the first goal for France.

What's even more exciting is that just one minute later, Mbappe scored twice to give France the equals for Argentina:

Two goals spaced just 97 seconds apart gave France a boost in arms.

The two teams were tied 2-2 and went into extra time.

In extra time, there was once again a "roller coaster" situation of "you chase me", and in the second half, 108 minutes of extra time, Messi scored another goal.

However, 10 minutes later, Mbappe equalised again with a penalty.

After the French team lost 2:4 in the penalty shootout, countless fans looked dark.

In the early morning of December 19, 2022, the Qatar World Cup finally came to an end, and the two great teams fought until the last moment in the three-hour game, and the Pampas Eagles soared to the top of the world again after 36 years.

The game was so exciting that it pales in any literal description, but there is no doubt that it was an epic game that will go down in the memory of a lifetime.

Messi won the Ballon d'Or as expected, becoming the first player to win the Ballon d'Or twice, and he couldn't wait to kiss the trophy gently when passing by the Hercules Cup, which is a perfect response to the lonely gaze eight years ago, and also interprets the unremitting persistence of the 35-year-old veteran who has made 26 appearances in five World Cups.

With Messi lifting the Hercules Cup high, the Pampas Eagles are proud of the sky again after 36 years, and the third football king Leo Messi ascends the throne as he wishes, and there is no need to repeat the greatness!

Borges once said that any fate, no matter how long and complicated, is really reflected in only one moment: the moment when he realizes who he really is.

3,079 days ago, Messi also fell into the trough of his life, Messi's Argentina lost to Germany in the final, and they were only one step away from the Hercules Cup.

Today, he led his lads to another World Cup title for Argentina in 36 years, Messi came through, Argentina came through. ”

A World Cup is like an annual ring, engraved with the footsteps of history in circles, telling about the superstar's majesty or secret sadness, and also telling about the deduction of our own lives.

The reason why people love football so much is because it not only shows the inspirational struggle stories of the players, but also entrusts the heroic dreams of ordinary people in our ordinary lives.

The Argentine fans at the scene were completely boiling, waving their hands and waving the national flag.

The victory belongs to them at this moment, and the victory belongs to the Argentines.

Another treble team in the history of the World Cup was born!

Lu Fang and Wang Daren were not happy, and they were tied in regular game time.

In just over 3 hours, the two lost 31 million in blood.

Li Xia thinks it's good, at least let them spend money to buy a lesson.
