អាហ្សង់ទីននាំមុខ 2-0 បន្ទាប់ពី Messi និង Di Maria ស៊ុតបញ្ចូលទី

Messi—widely considered the greatest of his generation—is facing a French attack led by 23-year-old Kylian Mbappé, considered by many to be the Argentine star’s heir apparent as the world’s top player.

Messi and Mbappé jointly lead the tournament’s goal-scoring charts with five goals each in addition to three and two assists respectively.

The final in Lusail will be a chance for Messi—who has won every other major trophy in the game—to overcome the disappointment of losing 1-0 to Germany in the 2014 final, where he missed an opportunity to score shortly after half-time.

History also beckons for the French team and Mbappé who seek to become the first team in six decades to win back-to-back World Cups—a feat last achieved by Pele’s Brazil.
