Last time, the resistance to Les Blues was Luka Modric’s Croatia; This time, Messi and his teammates, who have won the Ballon d’Or seven times, are the victorious group.
Saudi Arabia ended Argentina’s 36-game winning streak in Messi and company’s first game of the Qatar tournament. They, on the other hand, staged a stunning comeback and are currently only one victory away from winning the World Championship.

Prominently, France has partaken in more FIFA World Cup finals than some other country throughout the course of recent years.
Team news
Acuna can be confident of taking Nicolas Tagliafico’s place in what will most likely be a four-man backline, as Lisandro Martinez is restricted to substitute minutes once more, much to the dismay of Manchester United fans. Montiel is fighting a losing battle to come in for Nahuel Molina on the right.
Alejandro Gomez, who is not fully recovered from an ankle sprain and may only make the bench at best, should be the only injury doubt for La Albiceleste. When Messi was pictured giving his hamstring a workout in the semi-finals, people’s mouths were watering.
The seasoned attacker has no reason to doubt his ability to start, where he should set a World Cup record with 26 appearances. With a slight change to the formation, he may be joined by Angel Di Maria, another player nearing the end of his international career.
As Paulo Dybala and Lautaro Martinez attempt to increase their output as impact substitutes once more, the irrational Leandro Paredes would be the unfortunate name to make way if Di Maria can demonstrate his fitness in time.
In the France camp, Dayot Upamecano and Adrien Rabiot were the next victims of the constant air conditioning in Qatar. Kingsley Coman, who was also feeling unwell prior to the semi-finals, is now reportedly joined in the sick bay by Raphael Varane and Ibrahima Konate. The Bleus doctors will still need to give a last-minute go-ahead despite the fact that all five players are said to have returned for training over the weekend.

Argentina:

Prediction
We say: Mbappe versus Messi: Argentina 2-1 France Fernandez versus Tchouameni. versus Mac Allister, Griezmann In a World Cup final where goals will almost certainly be scored, countless individual battles should decide the tournament’s fate.
Deschamps’ ill players haven’t been able to find the perfect defensive formula in Qatar, and they might have lost to Morocco on another day. However, their penchant for quick counterattacks should come to the forefront regardless.
However, Argentina, which has only failed to score more than once against Saudi Arabia, can simultaneously demonstrate Les Bleus’ weaknesses in the backline and channel their own defensive expertise. In football, fairytale endings are never guaranteed, but viewers all over the world can anticipate seeing Messi holding the 18-karat gold trophy.
