However, the Rooster team had the advantage because they equaled Brazil’s record of reaching the finals consecutively or Back-to-Back in the 1994-1998 edition.

At the Qatar World Cup, France’s journey to the final was fairly easy. After securing a ticket to the last 16, France lost 1-0 to Tunisia in the group stage. Next, Didier Deschamps’ men eliminated Poland, England and finally Morocco in the semifinals on December 15.
Unlike Argentina. In the first round, the La Albiceleste squad lost 1-2 to Saudi Arabia. Under pressure to be eliminated from the group phase, the Argentina national team under the command of Lionel Messi was able to get up and win the following two matches against Mexico and Poland. Furthermore, Lionel Scaloni concocted an excellent strategy that led Argentina to beat Australia, the Netherlands, and finally Croatia to advance to the final round against France.
Ahead of the match, the strength map of the two teams looked equally strong. Argentina and France both have world-class players who play in the five major European leagues, the skills of each player are not in doubt. Now only the motivation and strong desire of the players play an important role in becoming a champion, and one more important thing is the luck factor.
Apart from winning the World Cup, competition also took place between Messi and Mbappe in the struggle for personal awards, namely the Golden Boot and Golden Ball. Until the semifinals, the two mainstay strikers of PSG have both scored 5 goals. Messi has never tasted the Golden Boot, but won the Golden Ball as the best player in the 2014 World Cup, even though Argentina lost to Germany in the final.
Today’s game is the first time the two teams have met in a World Cup final. Argentina has participated in the final 5 times and won 2 championships, while France has participated in 3 finals and won 2 championships. In the final duel at the 2018 World Cup, France eliminated Argentina from the round of 16 with a losing score of 4-3.
