Messi’s Argentina vs. Mbappé’s France! | World Cup Final 2022

The 2022 FIFA World Cup held in Qatar closes with today’s final. Argentina and France will meet in the largest stadium of the tournament, Lusail, which has a capacity for 88,000 people, in the match that will begin at 6:00 p.m.

Tangoists and Gallos, who have won two championships each, will sweat to lift the biggest trophy for the third time and place the third star on their shields. France, which came to Qatar 2022 with the title of champion, will be the third country to win the World Cup in a row if it repeats the success here. Previously, Italy had won the cup in 1934 and 1938, and Brazil in 1958 and 1962. Argentina, for its part, aims to end its 36-year longing…

• 11 possible:
• Argentina: Martínez, Molina, Romero, Otamendi, Tagliafico, Fernández, Paredes, MacAllister, De Paul, Messi, Álvarez.
• France: Lloris, Kounde, Varane, Konate, Hernández, Tchouameni, Fofana, Dembele, Mbappé, Griezmann, Giroud.

FOURTH APPOINTMENT

Argentina and France have met three times in the World Cup so far. Argentina won group stage matches in 1930 and 1978 with scores of 1-0 and 2-1, while in Russia’s 2018 round of 16 fight, France came off the field with a 4-3 victory.

A MISSING CUP

Lionel Messi, who won a total of 36 trophies with Barcelona and Paris SG, will try to make up for the only lack of his career in the last World Cup. The 35-year-old legend, who last year put an end to his longing for America with Argentina, will play his 26th time in the World Cup today, breaking the record of German Lothar Matthaus. With 2,194 minutes on the field in the biggest tournament, Messi is 23 minutes off the record for ‘player with the most time’ held by Italian Paolo Maldini with 2,217 minutes. Messi is the only player between the ages of ten, twenty and thirty who has scored in the World Cup.

FOLLOWING PELE

Kylian Mbappé, the youngest player to score after Pelé in a World Cup final (Russia 2018), is aiming for his second consecutive victory as the Brazilian legend. The French star, who will turn 24 on December 20, played all the Qatar 2022 matches and scored 5 goals and shares first place with Messi in the real race. Along with Mbappé, Griezmann seeks to get the names of 4 players who scored in two World Cup finals: Vava/Brazil (1958, 1962), Pelé/Brazil (1958, 1970), Breitner/Germany (1974, 1982), Zidane/France (1998), 2006).
