Argentina has a third star embroidered on their white and blue striped shirts

Argentina now has a third star embroidered on their famous white and blue striped shirts after captain Lionel Messi and his teammates emerged victorious over France in one of the most enthralling, topsy-turvy World Cup Finals of all time.

Argentina eventually won the game on penalties, but only after surrendering a two goal lead and seeing France drag themselves back level twice on the night, including a 118th minute penalty from Kylian Mbappe to usher in the shootout after it finished 3-3.

The celebrations were as wild as you might expect, and yet there was still room for some utterly bizarre scenes amid the usual ticker tape speckled mayhem.

Messi was made to don a Qatari robe before hoisting the trophy aloft.

Presented by the Emir of Qatar, the robe was actually a bisht, which is a ceremonial cloak given in celebration of great victory.

Goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, who stood tall to deny France striker Randal Kolo Muani what would have surely been a winning goal at the buzzer, did his utmost to disrupt France's composure and concentration during the penalty shootout with some questionable antics.

The Aston Villa stopper was duly bestowed with the Golden Glove award for being the best goalkeeper at the 2022 World Cup, which he celebrated in an equally questionable fashion, using the award in a vulgar gesture.

Argentina observed a minute's silence for Mbappe in the dressing room after the France striker became only the second player ever to score a hattrick in a World Cup final, alongside Sir Geoff Hurst in 1966 only to still somehow end up on the losing side.

Celebrity Chef Salt Bae, also known by his real name of Nusret Gokce somehow managed to wind up getting his hands on the most prestigious trophy in football during the postmatch revelry.

President Emmanuel Macron attempted to console a clearly heartbroken Kylian Mbappe, only to be blankly ignored by the crestfallen striker.

Rapper Drake also ended up on the losing side after seeing his enormous World Cup final bet fail to pay off.

Despite backing Argentina to win, the Canadian music star reportedly lost $1 million due to the fact that his bet didn't account for a win on penalties.

Argentina fans the world over partied long into the early hours, including celebrations in Naples.
