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."

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.
