Croatia holds off Morocco in an action-packed match to claim third place in the World Cup.
But in remarks to the media Saturday, Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni downplayed the superstar faceoff, emphasizing that tomorrow's World Cup final is a team game.
"Tomorrow’s game is Argentina against France; it’s not about Messi and Mbappé. We believe that both teams have the necessary weapons for the game to be decided by other players, not necessarily either one of them," Scaloni said. "On our side, Messi is very well and we hope that it ends up falling on our side, but this is a game between Argentina and France and there are plenty of players who can decide the game.""France is not only Mbappé. He is a great player.
He is one of the best players, he is still young and he will continue improving, there is no doubt about that." Perhaps underlining Scaloni's point is the race for the Golden Boot. While Messi and Mbappé currently are in the lead for most goals in the tournament, a pair of teammates . Argentina's Julián Álvarez and France's Olivier Giroud have scored four times apiece, putting them just one goal behind their squads' headlining stars.
