Peter Drury said: “That’s what they came for, the magic man. One more Messi moment and Argentina are alive. They give thanks he is one of them. How often have we seen the faces of the opponent? See the video below
Lionel Messi made his 21st appearance at the FIFA World Cup tournament, which sees him equal Diego Maradona as the player with the most appearances for Argentina in the competition. He has now scored as many World Cup goals as Diego Maradona (8), making him the joint-highest second-goal scorer in Argentina World cup history. Messi has now scored 4 goals from outside the box in his FIFA World Cup career, Rivellino is the only player with more such goals at the tournament (5) since 1966. To top it all, Lionel Messi became the youngest (18y 357d vs Serbia in 2006) and the oldest (35y 155d vs Mexico today) player to both score and assist in a single World Cup game since the start of the 1966 tournament. He also became the first man ever to assist in different World Cups! 2006, 2010, 2014, 2018, 2022. What a demon and player he is! Like Pep Guardiola does say, “Never try to describe him, just keep watching him”.
Diego Forlan once said, “When you play against Messi, you should make every move, score every goal, and make use of every chance you have. Because when he picks and brings himself into the game, you might end up regretting it”.
Messi made a promise to the Argentine fans and is on the verge of fulfilling. Will take his country to a victory in Qatar? Tell your thought in the comment section.
