I'll tell you my opinion, at the end of the match you could see how the referee was trying to help the French team, but Argentina was so assertive that it led to its logical conclusion, to their victory. It was clear how difficult it was psychologically for the Argentine players, they seemed to feel the burden of responsibility. It was a good final, and the strongest won. Mbappe will also become a football legend, he is a very big talent and he still has his whole career ahead of him!
This is actually a ridiculous claim that the referee was on the side of France towards the end. The referee might have made some few bad calls but he did well in that game. The luckiest team that benefitted from this bad calls was Argentina, the foul on Marcus thuram in the ending minutes of the regular time was a clear penalty because there was contact from Romero. Had VAR intervened it would have been given. Overall the referee had a decent game. Argentina were throwing there bodies alot into the game which made him gave fouls to France at the ending of the game.My curiosity is why didn't VAR intervene on penalty calls and or the wrong ones given almost throughout the knockout stages. Did FIFA Scrapped it from that moment?
This means that you would at least expect one of them to be checked. In any case, I believe ref was good enough and the game was great, as someone who is neither Argentinian nor French, I could say it's not going to be that much of a trouble for me to watch one or the other win, so the game itself was what I cared about and it was superb game.
