A few hours before the Qatar 2022 World Cup final begins, Lionel Messi sent a message through his social networks stating that he is prepared to face the French team, who arrives with Mbappé and company in search of the two-time world championship.
Argentina and France will face each other again in a World Cup, this time, in the Qatar 2022 final, which will be played this Sunday, November 18, at the Lusail stadium starting at 10:00 a.m. This duel will go down in history, as it could be the first World Cup won by Messi or the second in a row for the young star, Kylian Mbappé.
Before the ball starts rolling, Lionel Messi was encouraged to give a message through his networks, specifically on Twitter, where he said the following: “I’m ready. Let’s go Argentina!!”accompanied by a photo of him.
Argentina reached the grand final of the Qatar 2022 World Cup, after beating Croatia 3-0 with a great performance by Lionel Messi, who scored 1 goal and provided 1 assist, the other 2 scores were made by Julián Álvarez. Both players are the top scorers for the ‘Albiceleste’.
On the other hand, France defeated Morocco 2-0 and will play their second consecutive final. It is important to note that against the African team, the ‘Gauls’ finished for the first time in the World Cup without conceding goals.

Adding friendly and official matches, the two World Cup finalists have met a total of 12 times: 6 victories for Argentina, 3 French victories and 3 draws. Although the balance tilts in favor of those of Messi and company, the last memory of a duel against the Europeans is not pleasant.
