Former American tennis professional Serena Williams too, like everyone else, sat on the edge of her seat as Argentina and France wrestled to bag the FIFA 2022 World Cup trophy. Initially, both teams scored 3 goals each in the 90 minutes and extra time. Finally, it came down to the penalties.

With that being said, there is no denying the fact that it was one of the most thrilling and great FIFA World Cup finals of all time.
