FIFA World Cup 2022, Argentina vs France: Who will win Golden Ball and Golden Boot awards - Messia or Mbappe

France and Argentina will face off in the FIFA World Cup 2022 championship game on Sunday, December 18, at the Lusail Iconic Stadium in Qatar. In the summit match, both teams have several standout players who can run the show and win the game for their respective teams. Together with all the other A-list athletes, PSG teammates Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe will be the two players who steal the show.

Messi and Mbappe are both scorching hot at the current FIFA World Cup, holding first place on the list of top goal scorers. They have each scored five goals in the six games they have played so far, and in the championship game, they will try to add to that total to win the first-ever Golden Boot. Messi has yet to win the Golden Boot despite participating in his fifth FIFA Cup competition this year. He'll try to score in the championship game to take home the win.

Messi is the favourite to win the Golden Ball in addition to the FIFA World Cup Golden Boot, and if he does, he will become the only player to win the FIFA World Cup Golden Ball twice. When Argentina made it to the final but lost the championship to Germany 0-1 in that year's competition, he took home his first Golden Ball. Only six players have achieved the feat, and Messi will be able to join them if he wins both the Golden Boot and the Golden Ball this year. In addition to Messi, Mbappe will aim to achieve a significant personal milestone in the championship game.
