Argentina take on France at the Qatar 2022 final, in what could be their biggest moment in decades. La Albiceleste will once again be guided by Lionel Messi on the field, while Paulo Dybala will wait for his chance on the bench.

Lionel Scaloni hasmade many changes to the lineup throughout the tournament, but the AS Roma star never got to start in this World Cup. Instead, the manager has leaned on the likes of Messi, Alexis Mac Allister, Julian Alvarez or Angel Di Maria.

It hasn’t gone bad so far, as Argentina bounced back from a loss in their debut to make all the way to the final. However, many still wonder why such a talent like Dybala doesn’t get muchplaying time.
