Sunday’s final is likely 35-year-old Messi’s last chance at World Cup glory.
Lionel Messi-led Argentina are facing defending champions France in the 2022 FIFA World Cup final on Sunday in what is likely to be the 35-year-old Argentine legend’s last shot at the sport’s biggest title.... [+]Messi—widely considered the greatest of his generation—will go up against a French attack led by 23-year-old Kylian Mbappé, considered by many to be the Argentine star’s heir apparent as the world’s top player.
Messi and Mbappé jointly lead the tournament’s goal-scoring charts with five goals each in addition to three and two assists respectively. The final in Lusail will be a chance for Messi—who has won every other major trophy in the game—to overcome the disappointment of losing 1-0 to Germany in the 2014 final, where he missed an opportunity to score shortly after half-time.
History also beckons for the French team and Mbappé who seek to become the first team in six decades to win back-to-back World Cups—a feat last achieved by Pele’s Brazil.Forbes’
