19 World Cup things we loved this weekend: Messi, Mbappe, Hannibal…

It’s Monday morning and you’re back to work after a weekend of non-stop football. Fire up that second screen and angle it away from your boss as you soak in the final day of four separate kick-offs in the World Cup.

There are few things we love more than the World Cup group stage, and Qatar 2022 hasn’t disappointed. We enjoyed some brilliant drama over the weekend, including a Saturday in which superstars like Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Robert Lewandowski well and truly stepped up for their respective nations.

Here are 19 of our favourite moments from a World Cup weekend that will live long in the memory.
