Argentina once 0-1 Germany in overtime in the 2014 World Cup final, Messi once said that this World Cup was the best song of the World Cup in his player era. He did not want the team to copy the record of France in the knockout stage of the last World Cup 3-4. Of course, for neutral fans, this goal battle is of course welcome. Argentina has an advantage in his historical overall record against France, with 6 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses. He won two World Cup matches before losing to France in the last World Cup, in 1930 and 1978, and history stood on Messi's side.
Argentina lost the first game of the World Cup group stage, which made many outside fans, audiences and commentators believe that they almost missed the championship this year. Argentina, who had won the World Cup championship in 1978 and 1986, was shameless and brave. In the end, he qualified in the group first place, especially the key role of captain Messi in the group stage, defeating , Poland, and Mexico 2-0. This World Cup is the last World Cup in Messi's player career. If he wins the runner-up, he will feel unwilling and cry. If the team wins the championship in the end, it will fill the most important gap in Messi's career. He will cry with joy, and of course he will comfort the spirit of Maradona in heaven with tears of joy.
France has also won the World Cup championship twice, in 1998 and 2018, both in Europe (in France and Russia respectively). The only World Cup held in Asia before was the South American team Brazil (2002 Japan and South Korea World Cup). France defeated this dark horse Morocco 2-0 on Wednesday, scoring the fastest goal in the semi-finals since 1958. That early goal also helped the team stabilize the defense line, and it was also the first clean sheet of this World Cup. The previous knockout matches were 3-1 Poland and 2-1 England.
What France is currently very worried about is the team's injury problem. Midfielder Rabiot, central defender Upamecano and winger Komang were all knocked down by colds, and they did not fully recover in the semi-finals. Head coach Deschamps will choose other players to prepare for this final, but since Vittorio Pozzo in 1938, there has been no coach who won the World Cup for two consecutive times.
