The highly anticipated World Cup final is about to begin, and on July 19 Beijing time, several authoritative Argentine media outlets have revealed the starting lineup of the defending champions for the final match.

According to Argentine team reporter Edu, in this closely watched final, Argentina's attack will maintain the previous setup, with Messi teaming up with "Spider" Alvarez, while Lautaro, who headed in the winner against England in the semifinal, will remain on the substitutes' bench.

Furthermore, Argentine authoritative media TyC Sports pointed out that there are currently only two uncertain positions in Argentina's final starting lineup: the right-back spot between Montiel and Molina, and whether De Paul will replace Giuliano Simeone to return to the starting eleven.
In the semifinal, the starting right-back Molina underperformed, while his replacement Montiel delivered a solid performance. Additionally, whether to re-use De Paul, who has excellent chemistry with Messi, as a wide midfielder or continue to trust the 23-year-old Simeone Jr. is a decision that coach Scaloni will have to make at the last moment.
