Hugo Lloris admits the World Cup semi-final against Morocco took a lot out of the players but he believes they have enough left in the tank for Argentina.
Les Bleus secured their place in the World Cup final with a 2-0 win over Morocco, thanks to goals from Theo Hernandez and Randal Kolo Muani.
The win gives France their second consecutive final appearance, and sets Lloris up to become the first player to captain his nation to World Cup glory twice.
"We suffered so much, we come out exhausted but satisfied with the work accomplished," Lloris told beIN Sports after the match.
"We are giving ourselves a golden opportunity to bring the French team into the history of football. It's a second final in four years.
"We were strong. We suffered when necessary. Not everything was perfect. We will have to put all the assets on our side for Sunday.
"It will be a great final, Argentina are a great team, with a player who marked the history of his sport [Lionel Messi] but we have arguments [why we can win]."
The 2022 World Cup final in Qatar will take place on Sunday at Lusail Stadium.
