Argentina will play France in the 2022 World Cup final later today.
Argentina reached this stage of the competition by comfortably beating Croatia 3-0 in the semi-final.
Lionel Scaloni is expected to include three players from La Liga in his starting lineup. Atlético Madrid’s Nahuel Molina and Sevilla’s Marcos Acuña will most likely start as right-back and left-back respectively.
Rodrigo De Paul, Molina’s teammate at the Estadio Metropolitano, is predicted to form Argentina’s midfield alongside Enzo Fernández and Alexis Mac Allister.
This will be Argentina’s first appearance in the final since the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, when they lost to Germany in extra time.

AS predict that Scaloni will field the following starting XI against France: Emiliano Martínez – Nahuel Molina, Lisandro Martínez, Nicolás Otamendi, Marcos Acuña – Alexis Mac Allister, Enzo Fernández, Rodrigo De Paul – Ángel Di Maria, Lionel Messi, Julián Álvarez.
