Barcelona will have a World Cup winner, but who will it be?

The 2018 World Cup takes place on Sunday as France face Croatia at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow. The match is the culmination of what has been a great tournament, and no matter what the result Barcelona will have at least one World Cup winner when the full-time whistle blows. In the blue corner are Samuel Umtiti and Ousmane Dembele who will be hoping to win the World Cup for France for the second time.

Umtiti has featured in five of Les Bleus’ games, he was rested for the match against Denmark when the team had already qualified, and is a key part of the defence alongside Raphael Varane. He’s also proven a threat in attack and scored the winner against Belgium which sent France into the final.

Meanwhile, over in the red and white corner is Ivan Rakitic who has helped lead Croatia’s charge to the final. The Barcelona midfielder has featured in every game for his team. He also scored the winning penalty in shoot-outs against Denmark and Croatia. Rakitic reckons Croatia will have plenty of support on Sunday:
