It is very difficult to score goals when both of the team will be big opponent. Simply as it would be the final and last world cup for messi so he will try to give his maximum effort to win the World Cup. On December 18, Messi will have to fight Kylian Mbappe, Antoine Griezmann's France with their best at Lucille Stadium. In this World Cup Argentina and France are very similar in one point. Both teams lost against their Arab opponents in the group stage. Argentina lost their first match against Saudi Arabia. France lost to Tunisia in their last group match. Messi and Mbappe are the top scorers in the World Cup so far with five goals each. Both of them are fighting for the 'Golden Boot', but Mbappe may be slightly ahead in this fight. We are going to see one of the best ever match between two good teams on the final.
I personally don't see any of them being superior because with them being able to have the same number of goals in this World Cup then of course they are the best and superior in their respective teams. Mbappe is ahead of France and Messi is ahead of Argentina, both have different ages but it's great that Messi, even though he is older, Messi can still show his best qualities competing with younger players.
If I consider this then it is clear, Messi who has a lot of experience and awards so I can say Messi is superior.
But if it's only about their rivalry for the top scorer in this World Cup, then I can't see which one is superior, because both of them also have a good style of play and support in the team.
Therefore, let's see who of them can score more goals in the final match because to be honest, scoring goals in the final match will be difficult because everyone involved in the final match will certainly put in a huge effort.
