The world of entertainment has reacted to Argentina's World Cup victory over France in Qatar last night.
Despite leading by two goals to nil through a Lionel Messi penalty and Angel Di Maria, Argentina were single-handedly pegged back thanks to a moment of magic from Kylian M'bappé whose penalty and stunning equaliser forced extra time.
Extra time saw Lionel Messi put Argentina back in front, before another M'bappé spot kick rescued the 2018 holders.
With the game finishing 3-3, penalties were required, which Argentina eventually won after keeper Emi Martinez saved a Kingsley Coman penalty, while Aurélien Tchouaméni missed, with Gonzalo Montiel scoring the winning spot kick, sparking wild celebrations from Argentina supporters, as they landed their first World Cup victory since 1986.

Just looking at President Macron consoling Kylian Mbappe and trying to imagine Rishi Sunak doing the same to Harry Kane.
