France have maintained the same shape in all but one of their matches at the World Cup, using a 4-2-3-1 formation that fits in plenty of their best attacking stars. The only exception was their final group game against Tunisia where Deschamps opted to rest nine players, with qualification to the last 16 secured by that stage. In all other other gam...
Kylian Mbappe
There is absolutely no doubt Mbappe will play a huge part in the final against Argentina. He was instrumental four years ago, as a 19-year-old, as France swatted aside Croatia 4-2 in Moscow to lift their first World Cup in 20 years. Now 23 and one of the mainstays of Deschamps' attack, Mbappe has thrilled with his performances in Qatar. He has pace and power, supreme dribbling skills and also is one of the best finishers in the world, making him a lethal threat to any defenders. His five goal...

After playing a key role in France's 2018 triumph, Griezmann hasn't had a particularly happy time in club football.

But the 29-year-old – who has been no stranger to the treatment table during his time at Old Trafford – showed remarkable powers of recovery to get himself fit again. He's been able to play a full part in this World Cup, starting every match and helping France concede just four goals in five ga...
