The
treble
also
made
the
23-year-old
Frenchman
the
second
player
and
the
first
since
England’s
Geoff
Hurst
scored
a
hattrick
against
West
Germany
in
the
1966
World
Cup
Final.
The
hattrick
helped
Mbappe
clinch
the
World
Cup
Golden
Boot,
but
his
efforts
went
in
vain
as
Lionel
Messi’s
Argentina
triumphed
on
penalties.

Mbappe
entered
Sunday’s
game
level
with
Paris
Saint-Germain
team-mate
Messi
on
five
goals,
and
twice
fell
behind
in
his
battle
with
the
Argentina
captain
in
a
thrilling
contest.
How
Mbappe
Hattrick
Came
About
Messi
became
the
first
player
to
reach
20
World
Cup
goal
involvements
when
he
opened
the
scoring
from
the
spot
following
Ousmane
Dembele’s
trip
on
Angel
Di
Maria,
who
then
capped
a
flowing
move
to
put
Argentina
2-0
up
heading
into
half
time.
However,
Mbappe
was
gifted
a
route
back
into
the
battle
atop
the
goalscoring
charts
with
10
minutes
remaining,
tucking
a
penalty
home
after
Nicolas
Otamendi
fouled
Randal
Kolo
Muani.
Mbappe
then
moved
clear
in
the
race
for
the
Golden
Boot
in
incredible
fashion
97
seconds
later,
lashing
a
first-time
volley
beyond
Emiliano
Martinez
to
force
extra
time
via
his
second
goal.
Messi
looked
to
have
sealed
the
award
–
and
the
trophy
for
his
country
–
once
again
when
he
prodded
Argentina
back
in
front
in
extra
time,
but
Mbappe
responded
with
yet
another
spot-kick
when
Gonzalo
Montiel
was
penalised
for
handball.
But
all
that
went
in
vain
in
the
shootout,
which
Argentina
sealed
4-2.
Mbappe
FIFA
World
Cup
Final
Most
Goals
Records
Having
netted
in
2018’s
win
against
Croatia,
Mbappe
is
now
the
highest-scoring
player
in
World
Cup
final
history
with
four,
while
his
overall
tally
of
12
goals
at
the
tournament
puts
him
level
with
three-time
champion
Pele.
Mbappe’s
total
of
eight
goals
in
Qatar
is
the
joint
highest
at
a
single
World
Cup
since
Gerd
Muller
scored
10
times
in
1970
(also
Ronaldo,
eight
in
2002),
but
that
will
come
as
little
consolation
to
the
forward
following
France’s
painful
defeat.
Mbappe
also
became
the
youngest
player
to
reach
double
figures
at
the
finals
–
aged
23
years
363
days
–
surpassing
Muller’s
record
(24
years,
226
days).
