They give them another penalty, they scored. Thank God later I did my thing, what I dreamed of.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was a dramatic final with Argentina first squandering a two-goal lead in regular time and then going back in front in extra-time with Lionel Messi\u2019s second goal before Kylian Mbappe completed his hat-trick to level 3-3 in the 118th minute with a second penalty that forced the shootout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere could not have been a World Cup that I have dreamed of like this. I was calm during the penalties,\u201d Martinez said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni, it was a nail-biting finish to a turbulent tournament, and he could not hold back his tears after the final whistle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI cannot believe that we have suffered so much in a perfect game. Unbelievable, but this team responds to everything,\u201d Scaloni said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am proud of the work they did. It is an exciting group. With the blows we received today, with the draws, this makes you emotional. I want to tell people to enjoy, it\u2019s a historic moment for our country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was the third world title for Argentina and the first since the late Diego Maradona won the trophy almost single-handedly in 1986.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Argentina players and captain Messi, who netted twice in the 120 minutes before also scoring in the shootout, it was the biggest title of their careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Messi\u2019s Argentine team had made the final as recently as 2014, but on that occasion they finished second best to Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll never forget it. We had to suffer but we deserved to win,\u201d said Argentina defender Rodrigo De Paul. \u201cWe\u2019ve beaten the last champions, it\u2019s a joy I cannot put into words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m proud of being born in Argentina, and today we are on top of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SEND A STORY:<\/strong>&nbsp;Do you have a story for us or need a promotion \/ advertisement?
