footballer Lionel Messi

Lusail: Argentina star footballer Lionel Messi has confirmed the final on Sunday, December 18 to be his last FIFA World Cup game.
The talismanic forward will be kicking for World Cup glory for the final time at football's grandest stage against either France or Morocco and will look to draw curtains on his World Cup journey with the elusive trophy making its way to his already distinguished trophy cabinet.

"I feel very happy, to be able to achieve this, to finish my World Cup journey by playing my last game in a final," Reuters quoted Messi as saying in a statement to Argentine media outlet Diario Deportivo Ole.
Messi will play for redemption having reached the FIFA World Cup final in 2014 only to come second to Germany.
