Grief history
The Argentines have two cups, from the years 1978 and 1986. The same with the French, but from the years 1998 and 2018 (they are the current champions).
Lionel Messi, Argentina’s No. 10, is looking to win his first World Cup at the World Cup.
France hopes to be the third country to win back-to-back titles. So far, only Brazil (1958 and 1962) and Italy (1934 and 1968) have achieved it.
La Albiceleste goes to the Lusail stadium with Emiliano Martínez, in goal; Nahuel Molina, Cristian Romero, Nicolás Otamendi and Nicolás Tagliafico, in defense; Rodrigo de Paul, Enzo Fernández and Alexis Mac Allister, in midfield.
Di María will accompany Lionel Messi and Julián Álvarez in the attack, in great form after scoring a double against Croatia in the semifinals (3-0). Di Maria returns to the starting lineup after three games with only eight minutes left due to an overload.
In the French team, weighed down by a virus in recent days, will be starters as center Raphael Varane and Dayot Upamecano, who missed the semifinals against Morocco (2-0) because he was sick.
French coach Didier Deschamps will start with his team, with Olivier Giroud, Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembele in attack. Behind, Antoine Griezmann as a midfielder. In the middle he recovers his place Adrien Rabiot, out in the semifinals due to the virus, along with Aurelien Tchouameni.
About 88,000 fans will watch the match at the Lusail Stadium.
