This France national team jersey represents one of the most extraordinary individual performances in FIFA World Cup history: Kylian Mbappé’s legendary display in the 2022 World Cup Final against Argentina.
Played on December 18, 2022, at Lusail Stadium in Qatar, the final brought together defending world champion France and an Argentina team led by Lionel Messi.
The match would become one of the most dramatic and spectacular World Cup Finals ever played.
At the center of France’s extraordinary comeback was Kylian Mbappé.
With Argentina leading 2–0 and France approaching the final stages of the match, Mbappé completely transformed the contest.
In the 80th minute, he converted a penalty to bring France back into the game.
Only moments later, Mbappé produced one of the defining goals of the tournament.
After combining with Marcus Thuram, he struck a spectacular right-footed volley into the corner of the net, scoring twice in approximately 90 seconds and bringing France level at 2–2.
The match continued into extra time, where Lionel Messi restored Argentina’s advantage.
Once again, Mbappé responded.
He converted another penalty in the 118th minute to complete an extraordinary hat-trick and level the final at 3–3.
With this performance, Mbappé became only the second player in history to score a hat-trick in a men’s FIFA World Cup Final, following Geoff Hurst for England in 1966.
Mbappé then successfully converted France’s first attempt in the penalty shootout, but Argentina ultimately prevailed 4–2 to capture the World Cup.
Despite the defeat, Mbappé completed an exceptional tournament.
He finished the 2022 World Cup with eight goals and captured the Golden Boot as the competition’s leading scorer.
His performances also brought his career total to 12 World Cup goals before his 24th birthday, further establishing him as one of the greatest World Cup performers of his generation.
