Argentina and France have played each other at three previous World Cups in 1930, 1978 and 2018.
The first two meetings, in 1930 and 1978, came at the group stages, with Argentina coming out on top, but France’s win in Russia was their first knockout stage clash.
Heading into their 2018 tie, Argentina had a clear edge on France, in World Cup meetings, but the prospect of knockout football changed the dynamic.
In terms of overall record, the two teams have faced off 12 times in their respective histories, with six Argentina wins, three draws, and three Les Bleus victories.
Mbappe’s brace in that game makes him the top scorer in World Cup games between the two teams, with Benjamin Pavard and Antoine Griezmann also on target in 2018, as the former netted the goal of the tournament.

The meeting in 2018 was one of the best games at Russia 2018 with the sense of potential guard changing as Mbappe starred and Messi was left frustrated.
Les Bleus had more energy across the pitch and an Mbappe quickfire double after the hour mark took the game away from Argentina, despite Sergio Aguero’s late consolation.
France went into defensive mode for their remaining knockout games, but the dynamism of their win over Argentina four years ago, remains as one of Didier Deschamps’ best results as head coach.

The two teams have already played each other once this tournament, coming in both sides’ opening fixture in Al Khor, which ended up being a goalless draw in Group F.
Croatia fell short in their aim of reaching back to back to World Cup finals after losing 3-0 to Argentina in a game in which Lionel Messi sparkled.
The 2018 runners up had defeated tournament favourites Brazil in the quarter finals and Japan in the second round en route to the final after coming second in their group behind Morocco.
Morocco have created history this World Cup by becoming the first African team ever to reach the last four of the tournament, and beat some big hitters on their way to the semis before being beaten 2-0 by defending champions France.
The Atlas Lions defeated Belgium, Spain and Portugal winning many peoples’ hearts and defying even more expectations.
The only time the two nations had met prior to this tournament came in the semi final of the first King Hassan II Trophy in Casablanca back in 1996, when a bad tempered affair ended with three red cards and a 2-2 draw.
The Croats won 9-8 on penalties and went on to defeat Czech Republic in the final.
