Today's meeting between Finland and Canada is a repeat of the 2019 World Cup final.

That time, the Finns won 3-1 and eight players from that gold squad are on the ice today.

One who was not there then is the team's top scorer in this year's tournament, 19-year-old Anton Lundell who has scored four goals and a total of seven points in nine matches.

- This will be something you will remember for a long time.

Ever since I was little and watched the World Cup, I have dreamed of one day participating in and playing a World Cup final.

And win, of course.

Our goal is to win today, Lundell told SVT Sport at lunchtime during the final day when some of the Finnish players met the media.

Canada chose to cancel its media meeting.

What has your upload looked like so far?

- We woke up, ate breakfast, had a team meeting and went here to the rink.

Now we'll go out and kick some ball.

Otherwise we take it easy.

No nerves?

- Yes, of course.

Now they are waiting for the match and it will be an exciting match that we want to win.

Gold experience in the Finnish team

Many hold Canada as gold favorites after beating the Russian team - which had the World Cup's best squad - in the quarterfinals and then the United States - the best team in the group stage - in the semifinals.

But the Finnish team has experience of winning World Cup gold.

Federation captain Jukka Jalonen, for example, has done this twice before (2011 and 2019).

- I think it helps our team that several have been with before and know what it takes to win.

It will be a tough match.

Canada skates a lot and forechecks hard so it is important for us to be ready for it and ready when the chances arise to put the puck in goal.

"Everyone wants to step forward"

How do you think it ends and who decides?

- It would be extremely big for Finland to win again.

We will try to win the match and I hope that someone in our team stands out.

You like that person?

- Of course.

Everyone wants to step forward.

You have convinced in this tournament.

Do you have another giant match in you?

- Yes, we are not done yet.

You see the World Cup final on SVT2 and the drop is 19.15.
