In recent years, Argentina and France have both competed and advanced to the finals of the World Cup. France triumphed over Croatia in the final match of 2018, whereas Argentina was defeated by Germany in the 2014 final. They have the potential to become only the third team in the history of the World Cup to successfully defend its championship, and the first team to do so since the legendary Brazilian team that won in 1962. In the case of Argentina, the most important figure in their story is both their best player and their captain. Lionel Messi has stated that he will end his international career tonight, regardless of the outcome of this match, and he has been in inspirational form throughout the entirety of this tournament, scoring in each of the knockout matches. Lionel Messi has been the best player in this tournament.
This level of composure is as good as it gets from the young prodigy. As Messi casually approaches the ball, Lloris should keep his gaze on him. While the captain of the French team blinked first and went in the wrong direction, Messi calmly rolled the ball into the goal to his left. Although one may make the case that this was a lenient penalty, Argentina certainly did not settle for anything less than this lead. However, France has not yet arrived for the celebration.DI MARIA MAKES IT TWO!
