Before the electrifying action started, the two superstars of cricket-crazy Kerala -- Mohanlal and Mammootty -- tweeted their presence at the stadium that the entire world watched in nervous anticipation and congratulated the winners post match.
Mammootty's son and pan-India star Dulquer Salman seems to have missed the action, so he carried a poster with Messi and Mbappe staring out of it, with the comment: "Tonight's gonna be insane! Argentina against France. Messi against Mbappe. May the best team win."

The superstar just couldn't couch his excitement: "At Lusail Stadium, joining the world to witness the clash of the titans and partake of the world's favourite madness! Awaiting a phenomenal and entertaining game from the bests, just like you all!"
Meanwhile, Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone were seemingly nervous until the winning goal was scored during the FIFA 2022 World Cup finals. In a viral video, Ranveer was seen holding on to Deepika until the winning goal was hit.

Lionel Messi was awarded the Golden Ball, the honour given to the best player of a FIFA World Cup, after a thrilling final at Lusail which saw the legendary striker's World Cup dreams turn into reality following a 4-2 win over France in penalties.
Messi, playing his final FIFA World Cup this year, was in top form throughout the entire tournament. Scoring crucial goals, converting penalties and assisting his teammates in scoring, the 35-year-old legend did it all.
