In the video, Mbappé can be heard saying in French: “Let’s go back on the pitch, or let them play or push a little harder and get into duels and do something different guys. This is the World Cup final.”
“It happened, they scored two goals, we are two goals behind. We can come back! Guys, this is something that only happens once every four years.”
For his part, French coach Didier Deschamps told his players: “Do you know what the difference is? The difference is that they play the bloody World Cup final, while we don’t.”

The thrilling match ended in a penalty shootout, which ended in favor of Messi’s teammates 4-3, to be crowned world champions for the third time in their country’s history.
