After nearly a month of battle, two-time world winners Argentina will face defending champions France in the final today...
Digital Desk: Argentina seems all set to add another star to their shirt after failing to win the World Cup since 1986. France, who has two cups under their belt, will attempt to become the first team since Brazil in 1962 to win the trophy two years in a row.
Following in the footsteps of other football giants like as Cristiano Ronaldo, Luis Suarez, Robert Lewandowski, Luka Modric, and Manuel Neuer, Lionel Messi will play his final international game for Argentina tonight. This match will also provide future legends like Kylian Mbappe and Julian Alvarez a chance to win it for their squad.
About Both Teams: (ARGENTINA and FRANCE)
Argentina
Argentina's fifth encounter (of a total of seven) at the Lusail Stadium in this tournament. It is the same venue where the Albicelestes defeated against Saudi Arabia in their first match. It's also the same arena that Lionel Scaloni's lads have never lost. With the exception of the world cup, Messi has completed nearly all of the items on his football bucket list.
Argentina will have the opportunity to bid the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner a proper farewell after winning five consecutive matches in Qatar 2022.
Messi, on the other hand, understands that the world's largest sporting event cannot be won by a single person's efforts. The entire team must perform tonight. Spain was the only other side to win the World Cup after losing their first match.
France
Les Bleus will play at the Lusail Stadium for the first time in this league and will strive to make it memorable. Thanks to their 2-0 victory over Morocco, they will be the first defending champions in 24 years to play in a world cup final.
The best aspect for France is that its main players, Mbappe and Olivier Giroud, have been in fantastic form, with both having a chance to win the Golden Boot by scoring in the final.
Giroud's achievement has been all the more remarkable considering France relied heavily on the player he replaced just before the World Cup, reigning Ballon d'Or winner Karim Benzema.
France kept a clean sheet against Morocco in the semi-final, despite the African nation giving them a scare with back-to-back assaults. Now, as Didier Deschamps' men seek glory, preventing Argentina from scoring will provide them with a huge edge.
France has never lost a World Cup match against a South American team since 1978. Argentina, on the other hand, defeated them 44 years ago. Argentina and France have played 12 matches so far, with the Albicelestes winning half of them. Three matches were won by France, while three were drawn.

Prediction for Today's Match:
Argentina has scored more than once in every game in the FIFA World Cup 2022, with the exception of the Saudi Arabia match. In this tournament, no team has scored more than once against France.
The South American team's amazing ability to find the back of net will set the scenario for Messi's spectacular farewell. Reportedly, Argentina will triumph 3-1 as per the prediction.
