As for Argentina, they have evolved in this tournament and Lionel Scaloni has created a hungry team that is able to sit back, then step into challenges and fly forward with Messi pulling the strings and brilliant Julian Alvarez manning the opposition defences. There is a sense of destiny when it comes to this Argentinian side.

The main events, the players have to watch closely

The main battle and story is obviously the master against his apprentice. Will Lionel Messi, 35, win the World Cup he has craved throughout his legendary career? Or will his PSG teammate Kylian Mbappe, 23, lead France to back-to-back World Cups and the second of his young career? Elsewhere on the pitch, the main battle will be fought in midfield.

The midfield trio of Enzo Fernandez, Rodrigo de Paul and Alexis McAllister have been exciting for Argentina, while defensively they are flexible to switch between a back four and a back five. The return of Montiel and Acuna from suspension has given Lionel Scaloni a selection headache as he looks to lead Argentina to their third World Cup victory and first since 1986 when Diego Maradona led them to glory in Mexico. Can Messi do the same in Qatar? However, Messi has been suffering from a sore hamstring this week and all eyes will be on him (naturally) and his physique but he has started. Scaloni starts with four defenses, but Tagliafico starts before Acuna at left back. Angel Di Maria starts in place of Paredes, suggesting that Argentina fall from the start.

As for France, well, they made their way through this tournament and the current champions weren’t electrified. But they have done the job and are one win away from becoming the third team in history to win back-to-back World Cups. Didier Deschamps suffered severe injuries prior to the FIFA World Cup finals but his team recovered very well as the youngster progressed. Ibrahim Konate entered the semi-finals and played very well but Dayot Upamecano started ahead of him. Like Argentina, France still look a bit wonky defensively. In midfield, Antoine Griezmann is stepping back from his years in his new role as a deeper playmaker, and Aurelien Choameni has been brilliant in the role. At the top, Kylian Mbappe, Ousmane Dembele and Olivier Giroud break through and give France an incredible balance. A lot of players got sick in the France camp, but they all recovered in time. There were also reports that Karim Benzema could return to France’s squad for this final after he left before the tournament started due to injury and was never substituted but has now returned to his list. Deschamps refused to talk about this issue at length and did not include Benzema in the squad.
