France's letter of introduction for the final against Argentina this Sunday commands respect.

The blues reach the final after beating Morocco 2-0 in the semifinals, the great revelation of the tournament.

France, Argentina and Brazil were the main favorites before the start of the World Cup and two of them will play the outcome.

The final will be a repeat of the round of 16 of Russia 2018, when the Frenchmen beat the albiceleste in an exciting 4-3.
 

They have 3 of the most prolific scorers in the World Cup
The forward of France imposes and the numbers support it.

Kylian Mbappé has five goals and is the tournament's top scorer along with Lionel Messi. Olivier Giroud has four.

Only these two players have nine goals, three less than the entire Albiceleste.

Containing this offensive power will be a challenge for Argentina and one of the keys to winning the cup.

 

Didier Deschamps, record coach
The French coach led France in their conquest of the 2018 World Cup and now he has put his team back in the 2022 final.

Of the 18 games that Deschamps has directed in the World Cups since Brazil 2014, he has won 14, lost 2 and tied 2.

The victory against Morocco equals him in number of victories to the Brazilian Luiz Felipe Scolari and places him two wins behind the record of 16 games won by the German Helmut Schön.

Although next Sunday Deschamps will have a tough opponent.

Lionel Scaloni, with less experience, has been able to lead the albiceleste to win a Copa América and reach a World Cup final in just four years in charge.
