Celebrated veteran football player Lionel Messi leads Argentina to World Cup glory

Description

Lionel Messi led Argentina to World Cup glory on Sunday, scoring twice against France in one of the all-time great finals with the South Americans holding their nerve to triumph in a penalty shootout. Messi finally crowned his record-breaking career by claiming football's biggest prize with a performance that will go down in World Cup history, scoring a first-half penalty and netting again in extra time. France had fought back from 2-0 down in the last 10 minutes as Kylian Mbappe scored twice to equalise and force extra time in a pulsating match watched by an 89,000 crowd in Lusail Stadium. Messi seemed to have decided the match in extra time with his second goal of the game before his Paris Saint-Germain teammate Mbappe completed only the second World Cup final hat-trick to bring the score to 3-3 and force penalties. For more on a World Cup final that will go down in sports history as one for the ages, FRANCE 24 is joined by Eurosport's Ruben Slagter. ESPN's Ed Dove and Football Consultant Karim Balde.

  • ARGENTINUSHKAS! Messi goes curvy for World Cup glory

    Si vous cherchez Asto, c’est ici, au sein des Ateliers Ernest-Michel à Montpellier, que vous le trouverez sûrement. Derrière les portes de cet ancien club de jazz, la caverne d’Ali Baba pour tous les amateurs de street art. Si avec des scies, certains coupent du bois, ce soliste des aérosols choisit de les sublimer, à sa façon.  Support original pour cet artiste protéiforme et autodidacte, d’abord tombé dans la marmite du graffiti tout jeune. Aujourd’hui, les toiles ont remplacé les murs et l’acrylique les bombes de peinture. Sa griffe reconnaissable entre toutes, s’inspire du "graffuturisme": art abstrait et géométrique qu’il explore en jouant avec les perspectives de couleurs et de formes. Si cela ressemble à une simple colocation entre potes, cet espace, géré par l’association LinUP héberge le haut du panier, des professionnels montpelliérains. Entre projets institutionnels et ventes directes aux particuliers, ASTO vit désormais de son art. Aujourd’hui, dernière retouche avant la grande messe artistique, à laquelle le trentenaire est ravi de participer. Une œuvre signée Asto coûte aujourd’hui entre 200 et 2000 euros suivant le format. Pour découvrir ses œuvres, rendez-vous pris du 22 au 24 septembre, au zénith sud de Montpellier.
