LUSAIL, Qatar—Kylian Mbappé scored a hat trick seemingly from out of nowhere to electrify the World Cup final, he ended the tournament as the leading scorer with eight goals, and he still missed out on winning a second straight title.
Mbappé converted a penalty in the 80th minute and then scored with a volley from just inside the area in the 81st.Mbappé scored a second penalty in extra time, about 10 minutes after Messi had given Argentina the lead again in what became a compelling duel between the two players. But Mbappé couldn’t quite match the Brazil great’s back-to-back World Cup titles—both players were teenagers when they won their first one, Pelé in 1958 and Mbappé in 2018.Chants of “Olé, Olé” rained down from the stands at Lusail Stadium as Mbappé futilely chased the ball while his opponents passed it over and around him.But after scoring his first two goals, Mbappé surged into the Argentina half looking for a game-winning third.
