Kylian Mbappé scored a shock late double for France to draw level against Argentina in the World Cup final on Sunday, after Lionel Messi’s team looked to be cruising to the title. Follow the action on FRANCE 24’s liveblog below.
France are bidding to become the first team since Brazil in 1962 to win the World Cup twice in a row. But formidable opponents stand in their way in the shape of Argentina, a team powered by the genius of Messi, determined to finally win a World Cup in what will likely be his last chance.
In even better style than last time, Les Bleus have sailed through this World Cup with a series of comfortable wins. They boast a formidable array of talent – most notably in the shape of lightning-fast attacking dynamo Kylian Mbappé and dazzling midfield playmaker Antoine Griezmann. They also have arguably the top manager in international football, Didier Deschamps, orchestrating it all.
But Argentina will be very difficult to beat, full of confidence after their thumping of Croatia in the semi-finals and driven by Messi, perhaps the greatest footballer of all time.
