Argentina is currently ranked third in the world. In the World Cup semi-finals, it defeated Croatia 3-0. Alvarez scored twice and Messi also scored 1 goal. Messi has scored 5 goals in this World Cup, and Alvarez has also scored 4 goals. The two Argentine frontcourt main players will compete with Mbappe who scored 5 goals, and Giroud who scored 4 goals in the finals to compete for the World Cup Golden Boot.
It is reported that Di Maria , who has been recovering from injuries in the knockout stage, is expected to return to the starting lineup in the final, which means that coach Scaloni will return to the team's more familiar 433 formation, allowing Di Maria to partner with Messi and Alvarez. Left back Acuña, who returned from suspension in the final, will also return to the starting lineup.
France is currently ranked 4th in the world. It defeated Morocco 2-0 in the World Cup semi-finals. Theo Hernandez and Randall Kolomuni each scored 1 goal in the first and second half. Gallic Rooster has reached the finals of two consecutive World Cups, and the French will also fight to defend their title.
French central defender Upamecano, midfielder Rabiot, and winger Koeman are doubtful for this game. These three players have all recently contracted Middle East Respiratory Syndrome known as "Camel Flu". It is still uncertain whether these three players can recover before the final.
In the past three battles between the two sides, Argentina achieved 2 wins, 0 draws and 1 loss, scoring 6 goals and conceding 4 goals. In France's 4:3 victory over Argentina in the quarter-finals of the last World Cup, the world witnessed the emergence of Mbappe. Therefore, this game is not only a golden boot battle between Mbappe and Messi, but also a battle of revenge for the Argentine. What's interesting is that both teams have won the World Cup twice before. Who can finally win the Hercules Cup for the third time? This is also the final suspense of this World Cup.
