Kylian Mbappé on 2022 World Cup: “Argentina deserved to win, they were better throughout the game”

Kylian Mbappé spoke about the 2022 World Cup final and how Argentina were better and deserved to win the game.

Mbappé scored a hat trick for France in the 2022 World Cup final against Argentina. Considered by many to be one of the best, if not the best World Cup final of all time, the match ended in a 3-3 draw with the Argentina national team winning the World Cup on penalty kicks.

Argentina took a 2-0 lead before France scored twice in a span of two minutes. After that, Lionel Messi scored in extra time and Kylian Mbappé scored his third goal in extra time. Speaking in an interview on Movistar Plus +, here is what he had to say about the World Cup final:

“You don’t think about scoring in a final, you think about winning it. It was a crazy game that Argentina deserved to win; they were better throughout the match.

“We had a moment when we were better, but if you look at it as a whole, it’s deserved. It makes you sad, but we mustn’t forget it, because 2026 is coming and we don’t want to end up sad again.

“Argentina deserved to win, they were better throughout the game.”
