Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe opinions on each other ahead World Cup final

Two of the best players in the world will face-off on the biggest stage of them all on Sunday when Lionel Messi's Argentina meet Kylian Mbappe's France in the World Cup final.

Both have been in sensational form throughout the tournament, with the pair joint-top of the scoring charts boasting five goals each, though Messi has the slight edge given he has three assists to Mbappe's two. Games do not get much bigger than this and it is somewhat fitting that the Paris Saint-Germain team-mates meet with much on the line.

Some may be hoping the master can provide the student with one more lesson, while others will be desperate to see a France win as 35-year-old Messi passing over the torch to the 23-year-old Mbappe, handing him the role of being the world's best from now on.
