One game is all that remains as Lionel Messi and Lionel Scaloni look to lead Argentina to a World Cup title when they face France on Sunday in the final. They’ll face their toughest opposition of the tournament so far but the youthful midfield lines up well with Les Blues. Enzo Fernandez, Rodrigo De Paul and Alexis Mac Allister have been able to fend off opponents and keep Argentina moving forward during the World Cup so far.
With Theo Hernandez being an ultra-attacking left-back, the team will have chances to get forward if the midfield can help exploit that advantage. The virus that kept Dayot Upamecano and Adrien Rabiot out of France’s victory over Morocco has reportedly spread to more of the squad.
“We’re not scared of that virus,” Ousmane Dembele said in the pre-match press conference. “Dayot and Adrien got a bit of a stomach ache. I made them a ginger and honey tea and then they felt better. I hope everyone will be ready for the final.”
