Argentina and France will play the final of the World Cup in Qatar, this Sunday, December 18, at the Lusail stadium, with the main ingredient of seeing Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé face to face. In this context, the Albiceleste captain gave a lesson to 'Donatello', who missed the American champion a few months ago.

Mbappé, who has five goals in this World Cup, was interviewed after renewing his contract with PSG and spoke about what the tournament would be like in the Middle East. The striker indicated that the main candidate to win the trophy was France and that Argentina is not up to the job, because it does not face weighty rivals in South American football (with the exception of Brazil).

While the Frenchman belittled the teams from South America, the top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7) gave a lesson in humility when he referred to France. Before the competition, he maintained that the current world champion is a candidate to take the title and never underestimated those led by Didier Deschamps.

Argentina and revenge for what they experienced four years ago:

The last time Argentina faced France was at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, when the Europeans beat Albiceleste 4-3, in the round of 16. In said match, Mbappé was the figure by scoring a double and having been fouled inside the area of the national team.
