Argentina's or France's third star?

With this question, Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe will take to the field (17:00) in an attempt to make history in the 2022 World Cup finals in Qatar.



Albiceleste led by the flea want to lift the golden trophy 36 years after winning in Mexico, with Maradona's successor wearing the captain's armband.

Lionel Scaloni chose to bring back Angel Di Maria to the 11, who will adorn Argentina's link alongside Enso Fernandez, Rodrigo de Paul and Alexis McAllister.

In defense, Nicolas Otamendi and Christian Romero continue as stoppers, but Marcos Acuna, who was due to return to the lineup, was injured and in his place, Nicolas Tagliafico came up as a left defender, while on the right, Nauhal Molina will try to stop Kylian Mbappe.

Of course, Messi and Julián Alvarez came out on top in an attempt to get the first World Cup for the flea.



On the French side, the fitness of Olivier Giroud was worried, but the striker recovered in time and was included in the XI of Didier Deschamps alongside Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele.

Dayo Ofmakano recovered from illness and started alongside Rafael Veran who was in doubt, while Adrien Rabiot also returned to the lineup alongside Orléan Tshoumani and Antoine Griezmann in order to become the third team to win the World Cup for the second time in a row.

The biggest title fight of all.
