Argentina is trying to win its first World Cup title since 1986, when it was led by the legendary Diego Maradona. This marks the second time in the last three tournaments that Argentina has reached the final. In 2014, Argentina lost to Germany 1-0 in extra time.
In 2022, Argentina had its ups and downs. After losing to Saudi Arabia in the opener, the team managed to turn things around and finish first in the group. The Argentinians followed with positive results over Australia (2-1) and the Netherlands (2-2, advanced through a penalty shootout) before defeating Croatia in the semis.
On the other side of the matchup, France is trying to break the tie with Argentina and win its third World Cup title and second in a row. Kylian Mbappe will also be out to establish himself as the best player on the planet, something a victory would go a long way toward achieving.
