After defeating Morocco 2-0 at the morning of December 15, the French team won another final ticket and will usher in the final battle to defend its title.

Deschamps was interviewed after the game, saying that the French team cannot waste any preparation time
The French team reached the World Cup final for the fourth time in the history of the game. An inevitable question is - how will they defend Messi?
Deschamps did not shy about this: "Since the beginning of this World Cup, Messi's condition has been very dazzling."
In the 2018 World Cup, Argentina and France met in the quarterfinals , and the French team won 4-3 and finally won the championship.
"Four years ago, Messi played against us at the center position, which was beyond our expectations. Now he is moving behind the forward, he will control the ball more and run with the ball more, and also show an excellent state." Deschamps analyzed.
"He is one of the best players in the world, and he proves that. We will do our best to stop his threat and reduce his impact on the game. Now this Argentine team is different from four years ago."
Messi and Griezmann were once partnered in Barcelona .
In the French offensive engine Griezmann's opinion, "Any team has Messi as long as they have Messi, they are destined to be a special opponent. We have watched Argentina's game and know how they play."
"They have not only Messi, but also excellent players around Messi. The Argentina team will also have many fans to support, and we know this will be a difficult game."
Mbappe and Messi are partners of Paris Saint-Germain.
At present, in addition to competing for the third World Cup championship in the history of their respective teams, Messi and Mbappe will also compete for the Best Player and Golden Boot Awards of this World Cup at the same time.
Messi has scored 5 goals and completed 3 assists, while Mbappe has obtained 5 goals and 2 assists, almost in the same position.
And the 35-year-old Messi has confirmed that this final is his own World Cup curtain call. Both he and Argentina will have no reservations for the trophy - "We will continue to do our best in the final."
History seems to be on the side of Argentina - the last time a team achieved the title in the World Cup was Brazil, which was far away in 1962. Even further ahead, only the Italian team in 1938 had accomplished this great achievement.
