Argentina wears a lucky shirt in the final

*Argentina - France: 10pm Sunday, December 18, on MetaSports.

In the previous two championships in 1978 and 1986, Argentina both wore traditional colors in the final. And in 1990 and 2014, the Tango team failed in the final when wearing blue - their backup color. At the 2022 World Cup final, goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez will wear a green outfit.

The color of Argentina's pants will be determined only during the technical meeting. Messi and his teammates wanted to wear white pants, because they beat the Netherlands in the quarter-finals and Croatia in the semi-finals with this outfit. Lionel Scaloni's teachers and students are still unbeaten at the 2022 World Cup with a combination of traditional shirts, white pants and white socks. When wearing black pants, Argentina lost to Saudi Arabia 1-2 in the opening match.

At the 2018 World Cup encounter, Argentina wore a traditional light blue and white shirt, black pants and white socks. The French team wears a blue shirt, white pants and red socks. As a result, France won 4-3 thanks to a double from Kylian Mbappe.

The competition between Mbappe and Messi will be the focus of the rematch between Argentina and France in the final. Both countries have won the World Cup twice. Argentina will reach the final for the sixth time, and France for the fourth time. If won, France will be the first team in 60 years to defend the World Cup title. Meanwhile, the pinnacle of the World Cup is the only missing piece in Lionel Messi's great career.
