The stage is set for Sunday afternoon's World Cup final with scriptwriters everywhere salivating over the prospect of what is in store as Lionel Messi's Argentina face-off with a Kylian Mbappe -led France.
Arguably the two best players on the planet right now, indisputably the two best players of the tournament so far - the Paris Saint-Germain team-mates will leave everything on the pitch to ensure it is them lifting football's most-coveted trophy come the end of the game.
For Mbappe, it would mark a second World Cup on his CV by the age of 23 - an utterly absurd prospect until you remember just how supremely gifted the young Frenchman is.
