If Argentina are to retain their World Cup crown, they will have to overcome several pieces of history.
No nation ranked No. 1 in the world at the start of a World Cup has ever gone on to lift the trophy.
The only previous Argentina match refereed by Slavko Vinčić came at Qatar 2022 - and ended in defeat. Spain have never lost a match with Vinčić as the referee.
No country has won back-to-back World Cups for 15 editions.
Brazil were the last to do it, in 1958 and 1962.
Argentina will not just be playing a final — they will be trying to rewrite history.
