The Albiceleste meets the Gauls in the World Cup final with a favorable record but a bad memory in the last history.
Argentina beat this Tuesday comfortably defeated Croatia 3–0 in the first semi-final of the World Cup in Qatar 2022. Lionel Messi’s goal and July’s doublen Álvarez gave the ticket for the grand final to the Albiceleste, who will seek against France his third trophy in the league and the first for Rosario’s star, having remained at the gates of glory in 2014 when he lost to Germany in extra time with a goal from Mario Gotze at 113′.
The team led by Didier Deschamps, meanwhile, defeated Morocco 2-0 in the other semi-final (Theo Hernández and Randal Kolo Muani scored) and will try to win the title won in Russia four and a half years ago, in which he also became the second in its history after its 1998 host performance.
In addition to the battle for the title, Messi and Kylian Mbappé are also in the fight to become the top scorer of the competition:Both the Argentinian and French have amassed five conquests to top the scorer rankings.
How is the record between Argentina and France?
In total, both teams have met 12 times, with a favorable balance for those currently led by Lionel Scaloni with six wins to three for Les Bleus. There were three draws. Of course, at the World Cups they have met three times, with two Argentine celebrations (6 goals) and one French (5 goals).
The first took place in the 1930 edition for the first round of Group 1: it was 1-0, on July 15, thanks to a conquest by Luis Monti at 81′.
48 years later, in 1978 and also during the early stages, the team led by Cesar Luis Menotti in Mar del Plata triumphed 2-1 through Daniel Passarella (from a penalty kick) and Leopoldo Luque to win their first World Cup title. Michel Platini was the author of the discount.
Finally, the latest precedent dates back to 2018, for the round of 16. LThe Europeans won 4-3 with scores of mbappe (2), Anthony Griezman Y Benjamin Pavard, who later celebrated their second trophy by defeating the Croats. For those led by Jorge Sampaoli, Ángel Di María scored, Gabriel Market Y Sergio Aguero.
