France beat Morocco 2-0 to set up World Cup final showdown with Lionel Messis Argentina on Sunday; Antoine Griezmann continues to flourish in new-look ...

In his post-match press conference tonight, Deschamps was asked: "There's a report today that Benzema could come back to Qatar. Whoever manages to do that will win the match." On Sunday's World Cup final, Deschamps continued: "Lionel Messi has been in scintillating form at the beginning of the tournament. It will be up to key players to make a difference, and maybe the team that makes fewer mistakes will win the game. "We saw a very strong Argentina team against Croatia but in previous matches they haven't always been as strong. They are so calm, so composed and they know what they have to do. Mbappe and Lionel Messi will understandably dominate the build-up to Sunday's World Cup final. Morocco had beaten Belgium, Spain and Portugal in a series of gutsy performances en route to the last four. We know they are going to have a lot of support from the crowd. In an apparent move of desperation, the world champions turned to Griezmann to fill the chasm vacated by two stars of their triumph in Russia four years prior. "Of course, there isn't only Messi, they have a strong side around him, so we know it's going to be a tough game. "Any team with Messi in is a totally different proposition," Griezmann told his post-match press conference.

World Cup 2022: Messi a 'different proposition' says Griezmann (Aljazeera.com)

Greizmann has assured fans that France 'will be prepared' as they face an in-form Messi and a well-supported Argentina.

Messi is the leading goalscorer this tournament along with France’s Kylian Mbappe with five goals. After the semifinal win, however, Griezmann urged his team to not become complacent. Injuries to Paul Pogba and N’golo Kante before the tournament meant Griezmann, who usually plays as a forward, was forced to drop into midfield – something he has done with aplomb – racking up three vital assists in the knockout stages.

Antoine Griezmann has ideal chance to spoil Lionel Messi's World ... (Daily Mail)

When the coronavirus pandemic subsided sufficiently for Barcelona to return to training in May 2020, there was a surprise in store for French international ...

Messi left Barcelona in 2021 and then it really was other factors impeding Griezmann making it at the club. It was a fairly lame attempt at showmanship and it was not repeated. Sergio Busquets was already fading, Frenkie de Jong had still not adapted, and it was clear Miralem Pjanic was not the solution. Beyond Suarez and Arturo Vidal, Messi had no deep friendship with anyone at the club post-Neymar so Griezmann was no outlier in that sense. Griezmann lacked the pace and direct running to open space up for the other two. It was the kind of thing the Argentine could have changed if he wanted to.
