The thrilling penalty-shootout win over France gave La Albiceleste their first World Cup since national hero Diego Maradona guided them to the 1986 title.

And it sparked an explosion of joy in Argentina, where the media saluted the nation's latest generation of World Cup heroes, and their talisman Messi.

While Messi scored from the spot twice to put Argentina in the lead, Mbappe inspired the French fightback with a hat-trick to take the final to penalties. And with Argentina's win on Sunday, the debate about his stature in the history of the sport was settled for most. In Germany, the Sueddeutsche Zeitung also played on that reference with the headline"The foot of God" for Messi.
