FIFA Final: For Kolkata, Mbappe Remains A 'tragic Hero'
In the final battle of the FIFA Soccer World Cup Final -2022, Kolkata's euphoria was since the beginning tilted towards Argentina or to be precise towards Lionel Messi. However, by the end of the match, France's Kylian Mbappe left a deep-rooted impact in the hearts of the city's soccer- lovers as the "man of no error," who could not ultimately lead his team to victory and hence emerged as the "tragic hero".
The preparation was there since early in the evening with local clubs in Kolkata having finished the preparations for live viewing of the match in giant screens hosted at different street corners. The preparatory emotions were clearly tilting towards Argentina or rather towards Lionel Messi, with nearly 90 per cent of the viewers flocking in front of those giant screens sporting the Argentinian white-blue jerseys.
