The 2022 FIFA World Cup will conclude on Monday, December 19 with a blockbuster final between Argentina and France from Lusail Stadium, a clash of arguably the two best teams that many would have picked to win the tournament from the beginning.
Argentina's tournament got off to a shocking start when they went down 2-1 to Saudi Arabia in their Group C opener, but recovered with wins over Mexico and Poland to finish first and set up a Round of 16 clash with Australia. A 2-1 win over Australia led to a wild win on penalties over the Netherlands in the quarter-final. La Albiceleste then swept Croatia aside 3-0 in the semi-final to return to the final for the first time since 2014.
Entering the tournament as the defending champions, it was no surprise France were considered among the favourites, and backed that up from the very start, topping Group D with wins over Australia and Denmark. Led by the mercurial Kylian Mbappe, Les Bleus dispatched Poland in the Round of 16 and England in the quarter-final before a relatively calm victory over Morocco in the semi-final.
This France team now have the chance to become the first to win back-to-back World Cup titles since 1962, but their opponents Argentina have massive motivations of their own. Arguably the greatest footballer of all time, Messi has his own opportunity to lift the World Cup for the first time in his last appearance at the tournament. With countless accolades already, it would be a fairy tale moment if Messi and Argentina triumphed.
Both sides bring considerable talent and firepower to the final, with two French and two Argentinian players making up the top four vying for the golden boot. Messi and Mbappe have five goals apiece, while Argentinian striker Julian Alvarez and French forward Olivier Giroud both have four.
With records to be broken, dreams to be realised and goals to be scored, this World Cup final will be the ultimate conclusion to a remarkable tournament, and is one you surely will not want to miss a second of.
