FIFA World Cup 2022: The current FIFA World Cup is about to come to an end. Argentina has advanced to the finale game thanks to Lionel Messi. Their opponent is France, who stands in their way of winning the first World Cup championship since 1986. Kylian Mbappe, a young footballer, is in top form as well and ready to demolish the hopes of Messi-led side.
Every fan’s attention is currently focused on whether Messi will be able to win World Cup for the first time. He has spoken on retiring before the current FIFA World Cup season that is being played in Qatar. That implies they are left with just one opportunity. Even though Messi is regarded as one of the best football players in the world, he is yet to be crowned Football World Cup champion.
Argentina and France will square off in the championship game on December 18. In the 2018 World Cup final, France defeated Croatia in Russia. His current goal is a second straight trophy win. In such a scenario, Messi and Mbappe’s finale match confrontation should be entertaining.
Messi was the highest paid athlete
Messi was the highest-paid athlete over the previous 12 months, per the Forbes report from May 2022. He made approximately Rs. 1073 crore. In addition to winning the Ballen Dior award, he was named the best footballer seven times. He joined Paris St. Germain in August 2021 after leaving Spanish football team Barcelona.
Mbappe of France, on the other hand, received roughly 350 crores in 2022. In terms of money, they are well behind Messi. Regarding the current World Cup, both players have scored a combined total of 5 goals. Argentina won 3-0 over Croatia in the semi-finals. France also defeated Morocco 2-0. Both teams have shared the World Cup championship in a 2-2 tie.
Argentina World Cup victory last came 36 years ago
However, the victory has been long overdue for Argentina. They last won the tournament in 1986 i.e. 36 years ago. Diego Maradona, a former professional athlete, bestowed the name on the group. Messi would desire to match him in such a circumstance.
France has won the World Cup title twice, in 1998 and 2018. And the squad finished second in 2006. In the quarterfinals, Morocco defeated Portugal while Spain was eliminated. However, the French team did not permit him to advance past the last four.
