This will be the first time since Brazil in 2002 that the defending World Cup winner will play in consecutive finals.

However, Didier Deschamps has already had multiple injury woes before the tournament, with Paul Pogba, N’Golo Kante and Karim Benzema out of the tournament even before Les Blues began its World Cup campaign. He was recovering from a leg injury before the tournament and missed France’s opening World Cup fixture against Australia. Defending champion France will play against Argentina in the FIFA World Cup 2022 final at the Lusail Stadium in Qatar on Sunday.
