Former Manchester United defender, Rio Ferdinand, has predicted that Argentina will overcome France to win the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Defending champions France will take on two-time winners Argentina in Sunday’s final.
France are seeking to become the first team to retain the trophy in 60 years, having beaten Morocco 2-0 in the last four.
Argentina had booked their place on Tuesday, thanks to a 3-0 win over Croatia.
Ferdinand believes Lionel Messi could be the difference in the final.
“I think the stars are aligning for Lionel Messi.
“We saw him reach 1,000 [competitive] games during this tournament.
“When the question is asked – who is the best, Maradona or Messi, and people say Messi has not won a World Cup. This could be his moment,” Ferdinand said on BBC One.
