Fans flocked to buy Nike-brand Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) soccer club jerseys, with sales of Messi and Mbappe jerseys increasing by more than 200 percent on the official PSG online store on Sunday.
The 35-year-old Argentina team captain Messi said the final would be his last match at the World Cup, although he would like to play a few more matches for the national team.
Embape also shone with three goals in the game, becoming only the second hat-trick scorer in a World Cup final after England’s Geoff Hurst in 1966.
Fanatics, which operates the official online Paris Saint-Germain store, said 40 percent of PSG’s sales on the day came from the United States.
