an exclamation point on Messi’s remarkable career. Still, Kylian Mbappe and
history-seeking France will try to stop them.
On Sunday, Lionel Messi and Argentina will play France in a World Cup final
where France will be led by Kylian Mbappe, who is also aiming for history.
Although this year’s World Cup in Qatar has been marred by controversy off
the field, the tournament will culminate with a thrilling matchup of two of
the world’s footballing superpowers. The French team may need every minute
as game time approaches since illness has spread across their camp, keeping
certain players from participating in training and causing coach Didier
Deschamps some unneeded stress. Argentina and France are going for a hat
trick of championships, with France having been back in the final for the
past four years following their victory in Moscow.
