France national team boss Didier Deschamps has declared that Les Bleus will do everything within their power to end Lionel Messi's World Cup fairytale on Sunday evening.
Messi's Argentina are the team that await France in the final, with many neutrals rooting for an Argentine victory so that the 35-year-old forward can finally get his hands on football's most coveted trophy. However, as expected, Deschamps is desperate to make sure that is not the case come full-time at the Lusail Stadium.
The France boss discussed the idea of Argentina seeking their third World Cup and Messi after his first with BeIN Sport after the contest, adding: "We will do everything humanly possible for that not to happen. At the end of the match, someone is getting a 3rd star on their shirt."
