Head-to-head

  • This is the third World Cup final between Argentina and Germany (including West Germany). Argentina won the first 3-2 in 1986 but were defeated 1-0 at the 1990 tournament.
  • Victory in 1986 is Argentina’s only previous World Cup win in six matches against the Germans, and they were eliminated by them at both the 2006 and 2010 tournaments.
  • Their overall World Cup record against Germany or West Germany is W1, D2, L3, although one of those draws was a quarter-final in 2006 which the Germans then won on penalties.
  • Argentina’s 4-0 defeat to Germany in the quarter-finals of the 2010 World Cup is their heaviest defeat at the tournament since 1974.
  • The most recent meeting was a friendly in Frankfurt in August 2012 which Argentina won 3-1.

Germany

  • This will be the eight time Germany or West Germany have appeared in a World Cup final – a new record. They have won three and lost four of the previous seven finals.
  • A fourth victory would see them match Italy’s tally – only five-time champions Brazil have a better record.
  • A win would mean they become the first European side to win the World Cup in the Americas.
  • The Germans have lost more finals (four) than anyone else. That includes three defeats in their last four final appearances.
  • Germany are unbeaten in their last 17 internationals (W12, D5). Their last defeat was a 4-3 loss to the USA in a friendly in June 2013.
  • In Thomas Muller’s 12 World Cup appearances he has scored 10 goals and assisted six more.

Argentina

  • La Albiceleste have kept four clean sheets at this World Cup, more than any other side (correct prior to third-place play-off). They have yet to concede a goal in the knock-out stage.
  • Lionel Messi has created 21 chances at the 2014 World Cup, more than any other player.
  • Messi has failed to score in his last three games. He has not gone four international matches without a goal since Alejandro Sabella took charge of Argentina in August 2011.
  • Argentina were eliminated by Germany at the 2006 and 2010 World Cups. No team has ever been eliminated by the same opponents in the knock-out stage of three successive World Cups.
  • Argentina’s squad has an average age of just under 29 – if they win they will replace Italy (2006) as the oldest World Cup winners.
  • They are the only team who have yet to fall behind at the 2014 World Cup.
