Argentina’s Lionel Messi was named best player and France’s Kylian Mbappe won the Golden Boot award following a sensational World Cup 2022 final.
He netted seven goals in seven games and became the first player to score in each round of the same World Cup since the last-16 round was introduced in 1986.
He is also the first player to win the Golden Ball award twice since it was introduced in 1982 after also winning the honour in 2014.
Mbappe was top scorer with eight goals, including a hat-trick in the final.
It was the first treble in a World Cup final since Sir Geoff Hurst’s in 1966, when England beat West Germany.Mbappe, 23, scored twice in normal time and once in extra time as 2018 champions France lost the showpiece at Lusail Stadium.
The Paris St-Germain forward also created history when he became the first player to score four goals in a World Cup finals, having also netted in France’s 2018 victory over Croatia.
Mbappe, who took his total tally of World Cup goals to 12, became the youngest player to reach double figures in the competition.
