Argentina vs France: Emiliano Martinez makes Lionel Messi claim ahead of 2022 FIFA World Cup Final
Emiliano Martínez, who has been impressive for Argentina, acknowledges that many see France as the favorites to win the 2022 FIFA World Cup title.
But the Argentina goalkeeper said that they have an advantage over France since they have in Lionel Messi the best player of all time.
“People can say that France is the favourite, but we have the advantage of having the best player of all time,” said Emiliano Martínez before the clash between Argentina and France.
Lionel Messi could make the difference in the Argentina vs France final if he maintains his form in the tournament until the final. The 35-year-old has been sensational for Argentina and has been their best performer at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Lionel Messi has scored five goals for Argentina so far in Qatar 2022. He has scored one goal each in five of the six matches the South American heavyweights have played in the latest edition of FIFA’s flagship event.
France will have to be careful about the threat that Lionel Messi could pose, as the Argentinian superstar could make the defending world champions pay for even the slightest mistake.
Meanwhile, the final match of the Argentina vs France 2022 FIFA World Cup kicks off at 8:30pm Indian Standard Time on December 18.
