Messi wants to win his star-studded career's first World Cup trophy. Mbappe, on the other hand, is seeking to win his second World Cup championship after doing so in 2018.
Croatia and Morocco will compete for third place on Saturday, December 17. Morocco will try to finish third for the first time in the grand tournament's history as an African nation.
