There will be plenty of stars on show when France take on Croatia in 2018 World Cup final at the Luzhniki Stadium on Sunday.

For France it is a chance for redemption after their Euro 2016 final heartbreak on home soil, while first-time finalists Croatia have been threatening to shock the world for a while with their very own golden generation.
