The PSG star has been at the final once before, losing to Germany in 2014.

And the Argentine captain has said that the final against France will be his last international game.

Messi said: "I feel very happy to be able to achieve this, to finish my World Cup journey by playing my last game in a final.

"It's many years for the next one and I don't think I'll be able to do it. And to finish like this, it's the best."
