From that juncture onwards, Lionel Messi and Argentina left no stone unturned in their quest for glory. In the climactic showdown, Messi displayed his genius, netting a brace in a thrilling 3-3 draw against France and Kylian Mbappé. The penalty shootout loomed, and with it, the final dramatic moments of the game. The World Cup glory proved to be the pinnacle of Messi's illustrious career, marking the culmination of his tireless pursuit of international glory.
