Mbappe vs. Messi. Fernandez vs. Tchouameni. Griezmann vs. Mac Allister. Countless individual battles should decide the destiny of the World Cup in a final where goals are surely a guarantee.

Deschamps's illness-affected men have rarely managed to find that perfect defensive formula in Qatar and could very well have come out on the wrong end of the scoreline against Morocco on another day, but their penchant for rapid-fire counter-attacks should come to the fore regardless.

However, an Argentina side that have only failed to score more than once against Saudi Arabia can expose Les Bleus' rearguard shortcomings and channel their own defensive acumen in equal measure. Fairytale endings are never a guarantee in football, but viewers around the world can finally expect to witness Messi with both hands on the 18-karat gold trophy.

姆巴佩vs梅西。费尔南德斯vs乔梅尼。格列兹曼对麦克·阿利斯特。在一场进球是绝对保证的决赛中，无数的个人战斗将决定世界杯的命运。

德尚的队员们在卡塔尔的比赛中很少能找到完美的防守方案，而且在另一天对阵摩洛哥的比赛中，他们很可能会在比分的错误端出局，但无论如何，他们对快速反击的偏好应该得到突出的体现。

然而，一支只在对阵沙特阿拉伯的比赛中不止一次失球的阿根廷队，可以暴露蓝衣军团后卫的缺陷，同时也可以在同样程度上引导他们自己的防守敏锐度。在足球界，童话般的结局永远无法保证，但世界各地的观众终于可以看到梅西双手捧着18k金奖杯的场景了。
