One of Argentina or France will add a third star to their jerseys as the teams face off in the 2022 FIFA World Cup final today.
Featuring a pair of two-time winners of the tournament, this year's final packs a punch as the star power is extremely high. On one side there's Lionel Messi, one of the greatest to ever play the game, in pursuit of his first World Cup trophy. At 35 years old, this will most likely be the Argentina superstar's last chance to win football's biggest prize.
On the other side is Kylian Mbappé, who at 23 has already raised the World Cup. He's looking to do so in back-to-back tournaments as he is quickly climbing into the same rarified air as his club teammate Messi.
Of course, there are many other highly talented players on both sides, but the narrative will be dominated by the PSG stars on either side of the field.
