After almost a month of competition, Argentina and France close the curtain of Qatar 2022 with the dispute of the big final, this Sunday 17 December from the 16:00 hours (in Spain). The albiceleste arrives after leaving to Croatia on the way, whereas 'them bleus' deleted to Morocco in semifinals and add his second consecutive final.

It will be an efrentamiento historical and a meeting of stars, especially by the reunion between Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé, those who son the two players called to mark the difference in the party that will contest in the stadium Lusail of Qatar. It foresees very few changes in the approaches of the teams regarding the 'semis', by what to continuation review his possible alignments for the most important party of the year:

Likely alignments of the Argentina-France

  • XI of Argentina: Martínez; Molina, Martínez, Otamendi, Tagliafico; Fernández, Of Paul, Mac Allister; I Gave María, Julián Álvarez and Lionel Messi.
  • XI of France: Lloris; Koundé, Upamecano, Varane, Hernández;Tchouaméni, Rabiot, Griezmann; Mbappé, Dembélé and Giroud.

In the research of the third star, Lionel Scaloni will bet by the best that has in his alignment. Under the three sticks will be a 'Dibu' Martínez that it has turned into a key piece for the albiceleste and that it will have to be very attentive to the incursions and, surely, shots followed of Mbappé or Giroud inside the area, but also will have to keep attentive with the shots in the middle distance.

In the defensive saga Argentinian do not expect changes, with Nahuel Molina in the right side, Lisandro Martínez and Otamendi in the axis of the saga and Coins (absent in the last crash by sanction) hit to the left band, although it also could appear Tagliafico by the band. No descarta, neither, that can play with line of five and include to a third head office like the 'Cuti' Romero.

They would be accompanied by a centre of the field formed by Enzo Fernández, Rodrigo of Paul and Alexis Mac Allister, whereas in the forward would position the indisputable Lionel Messi, the 'spider' Julián Álvarez and would remain in 'will see' the participation of Ángel gave María, depending of the diagram that prefer Lionel Scaloni.

Unchanged in France?

Waiting for what happen with the players affected by the virus of the camel, that all trained in the previous of the meeting, does not foresee a lot of modifications in the plans of Didier Deschamps that already knows what is what better works to his team and that, in any case, has to avoid the 'cracks' that left against Morocco to go back to show a more reliable version.

For this, will bet by Hugo Lloris under the three sticks. A his positive performance is a point for for 'them bleus', because up to now the guardameta of the Tottenham was being a fundamental piece to buoy to the team when more they have suffered. It would be backed by a line of four conformed by Koundé in the right band and Theo Hernández in the left.

The side of the AC Milan arrives between cottons after having suffered a hit against Morocco, but aims to be headline in the final against France. The couple of head offices would be conformed by Upamecano and Varane, although it would not be a surprise if Konaté colara in the initial alignment, although it was to the that more affected the virus.

In the centre of the field will appear Aurelién Tchouameni, beside Rabiot (in principle, if it leaves backwards the virus completely) and Antoine Griezmann that splits like midfield player, but that plays where want to and is the engine of 'them bleus'. Finally, in the forward will not have surprises: Dembélé and Mbappé by the extremes, whereas Giroud will split as '9'.
