Spain and Argentina eye history
According to Opta, Spain arrive in the final after producing one of the tournament's most disciplined performances. The European champions recovered from an opening goalless draw against Cape Verde before winning six consecutive matches.
Their defensive organisation has been outstanding, conceding only one goal throughout the competition, while victories over Austria, Portugal, Belgium and France secured their place in the final.
Argentina's journey has been far more dramatic. The reigning world champions needed extra time in three successive knockout matches before edging England 2-1 in the semi-finals.
The Washington Post added that captain Lionel Messi has once again inspired the South Americans, contributing eight goals and four assists as Argentina chase a fourth FIFA World Cup title.
Rodri and Messi could decide the final
Much of Sunday's contest could revolve around the battle between Spain midfielder Rodri and Argentina captain Messi.
Rodri has controlled Spain's midfield throughout the tournament, breaking up attacks and dictating possession from deep.
Messi, meanwhile, remains Argentina's creative heartbeat. His movement between the lines and ability to unlock compact defences have repeatedly changed matches during the tournament.
Should Spain successfully limit the Argentine captain's influence, they will boost their chances of lifting the trophy. However, giving Messi even a small amount of space could prove decisive.
Mbappe backs Messi in Golden Boot race

The Real Madrid forward admitted he would have preferred to be preparing for the final himself but maintained that Messi has every quality needed to score against Spain.
