Theo Hernandez and Randal Kolo Muani scored the vital goals as France battled past plucky Morocco 2-0 in a compelling semi-final at the World Cup in Qatar.
Les Bleus are now just one victory away from becoming only the third team in history to win back-to-back men's World Cups as they look to follow in the foosteps of the Italy team in 1934 and 1938 and Brazil’s 1958 and 1962 stars.
Argentina lie in wait in the final on Sunday, with PSG teammates Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi preparing to do battle as their respective teams' talismen.
Mbappe had a hand in France's second goal against Morocco as he showed quick feet to evade defenders and saw his shot deflected straight to Kolo Muani to turn home 11 minutes from time. That ended Moroccan resistance after the first African side to reach the semi-final of a World Cup had responded well to falling behind to Hernandez's neat finish just five minutes in.
