Young Player Award - Enzo Fernandes (Argentina)
Best Goalkeeper of the tournament - Emi Martinez (Argentina)
Golden Boot award - Kylian Mbappe (France)
Golden Ball, Player of the Tournament - Lionel Messi (Argentina)
This game is extraordinary. Football is extraordinary. Lionel Messi is extraordinary. Kylian Mbappe is extraordinary.
Thank you France and Argentina for putting up a show! This match will be remembered forever. A truly historic match for a historic occasion. Lionel Messi's dream has come true
After 120+ minutes of exhilarating, scintillating and mind-boggling football action, we go into penalties
This World Cup is a gift which keeps on giving
Lionel Messi and Angel Di Maria give Argentina a comfortable lead heading into half-time. La Albiceleste have completely dominated the game and have hardly given France any breathing room. Deschamps will need to change the system in the second half as at the momet Kylian Mbappe is barely even touching the ball.
Messi is 45 minutes away from cementing his status as the GOAT. We are about to see history being made!
Absolutely beautiful move and Argentina can almost touch the World Cup trophy now!
This break could do France some good as Argentina have got the early momentum here
Argentina have started well here
Lionel Messi looked pumped up ahead of the match while Kylian Mbappe looked calm and collected. Lionel Messi and Hugo Lloris, the 2 captains, now come together towards the centre circle for the toss
The excitement is palpable, the atmosphere is electric. It is time for Argentina or France to reach out and become the World Champions
Argentina have a good record against France and have won six out of the 12 matches played between the two teams, as opposed to France's three victories.
Lionel Messi is Argentina's most prolific goalscorer at the FIFA World Cup with 11 goals and could surpass Diego Maradona's tally of eight World Cup assists this weekend.
Argentina will play their sixth World Cup final this weekend - only Germany have competed in more World Cup finals with eight appearances.
France have reached the World Cup final four times since they won the trophy in 1998 - twice as many as any other nation has managed during this period.
Argentina have won two of their last three matches against France but did lose their previous meeting against Les Bleus in 2018 by a 4-3 scoreline.
France are unbeaten in their last 10 matches against nations from South America in the FIFA World Cup.
This is the 11th World Cup final between a South American nation and a European nation - the South American nation have won the trophy on seven of the 10 previous occasions.
“You’ll be the best player in history” - Diego Maradona’s emotional message to Lionel Messi resurfaces ahead of 2022 FIFA World Cup final
Di Maria's return for Argentina cannot be underestimated. The Argentine wide man has an uncanny knack of popping up in the right places at the right time. He will be hoping to be the matchwinner for Argentina in a big final once again. (Di Maria scored the winning goal in the 2021 Copa America final against Brazil)
The fireworks are already going off in the closing ceremony, now we are just waiting for the fireworks on the pitch to start!
How much of an impact will this have?
The atmosphere is absolutely electric and we are just about an hour away from kick-off
In midfield, Antoine Griezmann has been extremely impressive in his new role covering every blade of grass for Deschamps' side while Rodrigo de Paul and Enzo Fernandez will look to neutralize his threat tonight
For France - Ibrahima Konate misses out as Upamecano comes back into the Starting XI. A surprising call by Deschamps as the Liverpool defender was exceptional against Morocco
Argentina: Emiliano Martínez; Molina, Romero, Otamendi, Acuña; Di María, De Paul, Enzo Fernández, Mac Allister; Leo Messi, Julián Álvarez.
France: Lloris; Koundé, Varane, Upamecano, Théo Hernandez; Antoine Griezmann, Tchouaméni, Rabiot; Dembélé, Giroud, Mbappé.
Will it be the languid elegance of Lionel Messi or the breakneck speed of Mbappe which comes out on top night? Kick-off is just about 90 minutes away and we will have all the answers soon
