Although France is going strong in this edition, where they already have two victories and are the first to qualify for the round of 16, the French national team recognize the hierarchy of Messi, Kylian Mbappé's teammate at PSG, and do not hide their desire to measure up to another rival in the next round.

Olivier Giroud, an AC Milan player, spoke with 'Telefoot', where he already palpitated what the round of 16 crossing could be. Although he stressed that to win the trophy again he must face the best, he confessed that he does not want to face Lionel Messi in the next round. It is worth remembering that if the Albiceleste is second in their group and France first, they will face each other on December 3.

The crossing of the 2018 World Cup would be repeated:

The team led by Lionel Scaloni has the possibility of finishing first in Group C and thus avoiding France in the round of 16. However, the 2018 World Cup duel could be repeated, when the Frenchmen beat Argentina 4-3, which at that time was led by Jorge Sampaoli.
