As the 2022 World Cup in Qatar draws to a close, the top 10 rated players from the tournament have been revealed, with Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe missing out on the top spot.

Sunday’s final between France and Argentina went down in football history as one of the best matches ever played, both teams left everything on the pitch in the search for glory.

After 120 minutes of breathtaking football, Argentina eventually came out on top after a 4-2 win in the penalty shootout, clinching their third World Cup trophy.

During the trophy presentation, Argentina captain Messi was handed the Golden Ball trophy in recognition of being named the best player of the tournament.

France superstar Mbappe received the Golden Boot as he finished as the top scorer.
