The Argentina vs France clash at the Qatar World Cup 2022 grand finale on Sunday will pit two Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) stars - Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe - against each other. Ahead of the high-octane clash at Doha's Lusail Stadium, PSG President Nasser Al-Khelaifi spoke about what one can expect from the game and which team he would be happy to see eventually lift the coveted trophy.

The Qatari businessman also said he is 'looking forward' to the World Cup 2022 final, adding that it will be a 'great pleasure' to be present for Argentina vs France clash. Al-Khelaifi then said he hoped 'France would win the World Cup' but quickly added that 'Argentina also had a good World Cup with Lionel Messi'.

Speaking to RMC Sport, the PSG president then adopted a diplomatic stance to avoid any outburst among fans of the Ligue 1 champions. "If I could, I would give the trophy to both of them! (Messi and Mbappe)," Al-Khelaifi stated.

According to reports, PSG's internal communications have been directed to regulate social media accounts depending on language and the eventual competition winner. This is in keeping with PSG's neutral attitude on the final, as not to pit two top players - Messi and Mbappe - against each other. It remains to be seen which star of Parc des Princes has the last laugh.
