"They are two teams that deserve to have made it. We are going to experience a special day. France has a very consolidated team, with strong young players (...). Argentina has shown a very important unity and has a player called Messi. He has something more important than Mbappé, who is incredible in what he is doing, but Messi is a finisher," he declared to the press during a legends tournament in Doha.

As it is known, the '10' of the Albiceleste admitted that this will be his last World Cup and Seedorf entrusted himself to the "football gods" for him to be crowned in the final.
"Messi knows how to decide matches, he makes incredible plays from any distance. If the football gods exist, it would be nice to see him lift the cup..." added the former attacker of the Netherlands national team.
On the other hand, this will be the first time that the French and Argentine teams define the world champion. The squad led by Didier Deschamps aims to win their second consecutive title, while Lionel Scaloni's team wants to win the trophy after 36 years.
