Messi Fails to Score in World Cup Final
Lionel Messi, the captain of Argentina, had a dream to win the World Cup again.
He played really well in the tournament and scored eight goals.
However, in the final match against Spain, he couldn't score any goals.
This meant he didn't win the Golden Boot, which is given to the player with the most goals.
Instead, Kylian Mbappe from France won it.
Messi also didn't win the Golden Ball, which is given to the best player of the tournament.
Rodri from Spain won that.
Because Messi didn't score in the final, he couldn't match what his rival, Cristiano Ronaldo, has done in big tournaments.
It was a sad end to Messi's World Cup journey.
Lionel Messi couldn't score in the World Cup final against Spain.

Kylian Mbappe won the Golden Boot with more goals than Messi.
