An emotional Lionel Messi celebrated the moment with his family and teammates as he finally laid hands on the trophy that he had wanted so desperately
It was a night like none other, at least in the recent history of the FIFA World Cup, as two glittering stars of the game
The match began on a very high tempo as the French were ran ragged by the Argentines. Wave after wave of Argentine attack meant France's defence was stretched and there was just one way traffic
The game was set up to keep players not involved in the ongoing 2022 World Cup in Qatar sharp ahead of the return of club football immediately following the winter tournament.
A clumsy tackle inside the box meant Messi had the chance to score from the spot and he did just that in the 23rd minute to put the Albicelestein the lead
After quickly falling two goals behind, United started their comeback when 19-year-old midfielder Zidane Iqbal was fouled in the box and Martial scored from the penalty spot with a Panenka.
The goal failed to shake the defending champions out of their slumber as Argentina kept pressing and in the 36th minute, a brilliant move, started by Messi, released Alexis
Both sides made wholesale changes at half-time with United substituting all 10 outfield players and Cadiz making nine alterations. It was the hosts that adapted the better, going on to score the victory.
