Juventus star Angel Di Maria made an immediate impact in the World Cup Final, earning a penalty that Lionel Messi converted for Argentina, but were France hard done by?
El Fideo had started all three group games in Qatar, but played just eight minutes in the knockouts due to a muscular problem.
He recovered in time for a place in the starting XI and made his presence felt straight away, skipping past Ousmane Dembele and then going down under minimal contact in the penalty area.
Messi converted the resulting spot-kick to give Argentina the lead, but there seemed to be very little in it.
