Sunday's game will be seen by many as a battle between Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi.

Both men shone the last time that France played Argentina in the World Cup.

Mbappe scored twice and Messi recorded two assists as France beat Argentina 4-3 in the round of 16 in Russia four years ago.

Messi was on the scoresheet nine years earlier in 2009 - the last time that Argentina beat France.
