Share This



Lionel Messi is "an fantastic player," according to Olivier Giroud, but France "will not let him enjoy" the World Cup final because they "would try everything to stop him."



France, which overcame Morocco 2-0 on Wednesday, will play Argentina, which defeated Croatia to go to the final, in an effort to become the first nation to win the World Cup in 60 years.

Giroud has stated that France will develop a unique strategy with manager Didier Deschamps to stop the Paris Saint-Germain forward. Messi was in sensational form in that game, scoring one goal and setting up two others.

Giroud told The Athletic: “Messi is an incredible player. But we're not going to let him enjoy the best night that he can have.

“We want to win this game and the World Cup and we will try everything to stop him."

Reportminds Blog understands that Giroud started both the dramatic round of 16 encounter against Argentina, which France won 4-3, and the 2018 World Cup final, in which France defeated Croatia 4-2.

The former Chelsea and Arsenal striker added: “There is not only Messi in that team. They have great players who work for the team also. That's why they are so strong.”
