JAKARTA - The French national team won a ticket to the 2022 World Cup final. Les Bleus are one step away from defending the title they won in the previous edition

This is the second final for Les Bleus in a row after the 2018 World Cup. This achievement is a separate record for Hugo Lloris and his friends.

France became the first team to reach the final twice in a row since Brazil in 1998 and 2002. Les Bleus also became the first European team to do so since Germany in 1986 and 1990.

If successful in defending the title, France will equal the record of Italy in 1934-1938 and Brazil in 1958-1962 ago. That is a sign that history will be made by the coach, Didier Deschamps.

If Deschamps manages to guide France to victory this year he will equal Italy's Vittorio Pozzo as a coach to win consecutive World Cups.

So far Deschamp has equaled the records of Vittorio Pozzo (Italy), Carlos Bilardo (Argentina), and Franz Beckenbauer (Germany) as coaches who brought the team to the final in two consecutive editions.

In the final, France will face another champion's favorite team, Argentina. The team from South America stepped into the final after ending Croatia's struggles.
