France vs Argentina: Hugo Lloris Insists FIFA World Cup 2022 Final Is Not Just About Lionel Messi
France vs Argentina: France national football team goalkeeper Hugo Lloris has insisted that their FIFA World Cup 2022 final clash with Argentina is not just about Lionel Messi.
Argentina and France, who are the defending world champions, have both won the FIFA World Cup title twice before. At Qatar World Cup 2022, both nations will be eyeing to win the coveted trophy for the third time.
Lionel Messi, who is one of the greatest footballers of all time, is eyeing to win the FIFA World Cup title for the first time in his trophy-laden career. Lionel Messi has been impressive and sensational for Argentina so far at Qatar 2022, and the 35-year-old will be aiming to carry that form into the France vs Argentina final.
Speaking ahead of France vs Argentina FIFA World Cup 2022 final, France goalkeeper Hugo Lloris insisted the game is not just about Lionel Messi.
Hugo Lloris said that the FIFA World Cup 2022 final is too important a game to focus on one player and stressed it is a match between two great nations.
“When you face this kind of player (Messi), you have to pay attention to him, but this game is not just about him.”
Meanwhile, France will have to limit the influence of Lionel Messi in the final. Messi has already scored five goals for Argentina at Qatar 2022, and is a contender to win the Golden Boot and Golden Ball.
The Argentina captain was also impressive in their semi-final win over Croatia. He scored their first goal of that match – converting a penalty – and made a beautiful assist for their third goal as they defeated Croatia 3-0.
Both Argentina and France have a number of other players capable of making the difference at the grandest of stages, including Kylian Mbappe, who has been impressive for France at Qatar World Cup 2022.
