捧杯后，梅西发声

北京时间18日晚，卡塔尔世界杯终局之战，阿根廷队与法国队鏖战120分钟。点球大战中，阿根廷队击败法国队，第三次夺得世界杯冠军。

Argentina won possibly the greatest World Cup final ever after a penalty shootout that followed a 3-3 draw after extra time here on Sunday.

35岁的梅西终于捧起大力神杯，圆梦了。

梅西本场独中两元，创造两项世界杯纪录。他不仅成为首位从世界杯小组赛至决赛每个阶段都有进球的球员，还以26次出场成为世界杯参赛场次最多的球员。

比赛第21分钟，法国队登贝莱禁区内犯规，阿根廷队获得点球机会，梅西主罚一蹴而就，打进本届世界杯个人第6粒进球。

Messi opened the scoring with a 23rd-minute penalty after Ousmane Dembele clipped Angel Di Maria's heel.

比赛第35分钟，阿根廷队麦卡利斯特助攻迪马利亚完成破门，半场比赛结束，阿根廷2-0领先法国。

Di Maria doubled their lead in the 36th minute, finishing off an excellent team goal from a perfect counter-attack.

比赛第79分钟，奥塔门迪禁区内犯规，法国队得到点球机会，姆巴佩点球命中。比赛第82分钟，姆巴佩侧身凌空抽射破门，法国队追平比分。

比赛常规时间结束，双方打成2-2平，进入加时赛的争夺。

Mbappe gave France a lifeline with an 80th-minute penalty after Nicolas Otamendi bundled over Kolo Muani, and a minute later he equalized with a thumping volley from Coman's clipped pass.

Mbappe went close to a third before 90 minutes were up, but his shot was deflected over and the match went into extra time.

比赛加时赛第109分钟，梅西破门，阿根廷队3-2领先法国队。

加时赛第116分钟，阿根廷球员禁区内手球犯规，法国获得点球机会，姆巴佩点球破门，完成帽子戏法，法国再度扳平比分。

Messi put Argentina back in front in the 108th minute, firing home from close range after Hugo Lloris had done well to block a shot from Argentina substitute Lautaro Martinez, but Mbappe equalized again from the penalty spot after his shot was blocked by Gonzalo Montiel's arm.

Emiliano then saved from Kolo Muani with virtually the last kick of the game to take the final to penalties.

最终，在点球大战中，阿根廷队4-2战胜法国队，时隔36年再次获得世界杯冠军。

梅西表示不会退役

在13日晚进行的世界杯半决赛中，梅西曾在战胜克罗地亚队后接受采访时表示，与法国的决赛将成为他的最后一场世界杯比赛。

After Argentina’s semifinal win over Croatia, the 35-year-old acknowledged that Sunday’s final against France would likely be his last match on the biggest sporting stage in the world.

昨晚捧杯后，梅西表示，他想以世界冠军的身份继续踢比赛，暂时还不会从国家队退役。

“I am not retiring from the national team,” Messi reportedly said in an interview, “I want to continue playing as a champion.”

“我还不会从国家队退役，我想继续以冠军身份踢比赛。”

阿根廷主教练斯卡洛尼说，希望在2026年下届世界杯上还有梅西，只要梅西愿意，国家队的10号球衣永远为他留着。

Argentina's coach Lionel Scaloni said: "We need to save him for the next World Cup – 2026. If he wants to keep playing, he will be with us. He is more than entitled to decide what he wants to do with his career now."
