Kylian Mbappe will face Leo Messi in the final of the Qatar 2022 World Cup, which will be the fourth meeting between the two. They have already met three times and the French player has never lost (two wins and a draw).
The finalists for the Qatar 2022 World Cup are already known. France and Argentina will meet in what promises to be a thrilling match as the two teams look to put a third star on their shield.
The big stars of the match will be Messi and Mbappe, the best players of both teams. It so happens that they are team-mates at Paris Saint-Germain, but on this occasion they will be enemies on the pitch.
In fact, Leo and Kylian have met on three occasions. And it must be said that the French player has not been defeated on any of them. The first time was in a France-Argentina match, in the last 16 of the Russia 2018 World Cup.
In that match, which ended 4-3 to the French, Mbappe scored a stellar brace against a Messi who did not score but provided the final two assists.
And the next two meetings were at club level, in the 2020-21 Champions League play-offs. In the first leg, PSG ran riot at the Camp Nou (1-4). The Argentinian opened the scoring from the penalty spot, but Kylian put in a prodigious performance to score a hat trick.
The second leg ended in a 1-1 draw. Mbappe scored again - this time from the penalty spot - and Messi scored a banger before the break. However, the former Barcelona player missed another penalty.
The two top scorers of this World Cup, face to face. There are a lot of scores to settle.
