Messi Leads Argentina To The 2022 World Cup Final With New Record

Celebration for Messi and his Argentine team as they journey into the Qatar 2022 World Cup finals after defeating Croatia 3 goals to nil. This will be their first time since 2014.

After winning a penalty kick early in the game, Messi mesmerized an electric atmosphere at Lusail Stadium, leading to the morale that pushed Julian Alvarez’s goal to make it two, all in the first half.

With another strong goal by Alvarez in the 69th minute of the second half, the Argentina team assured their place in the finals.

Messi currently leads all Argentine world cup goal scorers with five goals, one more than Alvarez, who has four, thanks to his goal in the semi-final.

Messi increased his goal total to 11 with his strike against Croatia in the competition after previously tying Gabriel Batistuta’s record with his goal against the Netherlands in the game’s quarterfinals.

Messi scored his first goal in Argentina’s opening World Cup game against Saudi Arabia in the 10th minute of a penalty shootout.

Since then, he has scored two stunning goals, one from beyond the box against Mexico and the other against Australia, both of which gave Argentina the lead.

According to fan speculation, Kylian and Messi are vying for the Golden Boot.

Here are some of the reactions to the match from social media fans:

HT’s sport editor, Dhiman Sarkar described Argentina as an “excellent team”, adding that “..and with Messi a player of such quality. They shut out the midfield by playing four:Croatia coach Zlatko Dalic…”
