France and Argentina meet in the final of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar at the Lusail Stadium on Monday morning AEDT. Here's everything you need to know.
Aside from the U20 World Cup in 1979, that was the only major honour Maradona won with Argentina — he did not play a game when Argentina won the Copa América in 1991 and 1993.
But such was his force of personality, Maradona has loomed large over all subsequent Argentina players and captains, but none more so than Messi, the man who adorns his number and has taken up his mantle as the nation's — and arguably the world's — best player. Maradona and Messi are inextricably linked — amongst other reasons, they are the only two players to have been named the best player at an U20 and senior men's World Cup.
However, fairly or otherwise, winning the World Cup has been seen by some as the only way Messi can shrug aside the comparisons with Maradona and stand on his own two feet as a modern great. Messi has already been the best player at this year's tournament, but if he can just take that final step, that will cement his enduring legacy in stone.France is aiming to become the first men's team in 60 years to win back-to-back World Cup titles.
