Doha: The final whistle of the football epic will be sounded at the Lusail Stadium on Sunday. In the final, defending champions France will face Argentina, who are dreaming of a third title. Argentina fans and the football world are looking forward to see if superstar Lionel Messi, who has achieved everything possible in the world of football, will be able to win the World Cup this time. PSG players Kylian Mbappé and Messi will be the focus of everyone’s attention when both teams go to battle.
The French team is aiming for the second title in a row. The progress of the French team in the Qatar World Cup was nailed on the superstition that the teams that won the previous World Cups are eliminated in the group stage. The team lined up under Didier Deschamps will have to figure out how to lock down Messi. The French coach says that they have a definite plan to lock Messi.
“We have wished Messi and Argentina in 2018. We were able to climb successfully that day. We thought that Messi would play on the right wing. But then he played center forward. Now he is a playmaker. He has more freedom in that position. It will be difficult to mark Messi this time. However, we have a definite plan, Didier Deschamps clarified.
The two faced each other in the pre-quarter match of the 2018 World Cup. After a very exciting match, the French side won by three to four goals. Griezmann and Pavard scored one goal each in the match where superstar Mbappe scored a double. The Albiceleste will aim for nothing less than the cup as the French team takes to the field to repeat their success.
