It is a FIFA World Cup final few would have predicted.

Croatia face France on Monday aiming to win a first major international trophy, while their opponents are in a third final in six World Cups and attempting to add a second title to the one they won in Paris 20 years ago.

At 20th in Fifa's world rankings, Croatia are the lowest‑ranked team to reach a World Cup final, and the 13th different nation to do so.

This is the furthest they have advanced in the competition, bettering their third‑place finish 20 years ago, when their brilliant run was ended at the last four stage by eventual champions France.

Croatia will take on France in the FIFA World Cup final at 3am Monday.
