Lionel Messi, the Argentinian captain, appeared moved when he was given a lot of admiration by a reporter, who told him how much he is valued by football fans everywhere. On December 13, Messi proved his worth yet again by orchestrating a 3-0 victory for Argentina against Croatia in the FIFA World Cup 2022 semi-finals. The 35-year-old scored a penalty and also made a magnificent pass to his teammate Julian Alvarez.
During the post-match interview, Sofia Martinez, a reporter for Argentine Television Publica, put her journalistic duties asideto express her admiration for Lionel Messi. She stated that the 35-year-old had earned something more significant than a FIFA World Cup during his career – the adoration of his supporters.
The reporter told Messi “Before the final, we all want to win, yes. But I want you to know that you already marked every single Argentinian. That is more important than a World Cup. Every kid has your shirt, whether it’s original, fake, or imaginary. Thank you captain,”.
After being defeated by Germany in the 2014 FIFA World Cup Final, Messi is now looking to take the trophy home this time. Argentina is already through to the final, and they will find out who their opponents will be after the France vs. Morocco match is finished. This is Messi’s best chance to win the one title he has yet to achieve, having already secured numerous awards with his club and country.
Lionel Messi put on a remarkable display, helping Argentina reach their sixth World Cup final
Lionel Messi put on an incredible show as Argentina advanced to their sixth World Cup final with a win against Croatia at Lusail Stadium. Messi can now secure the one accolade that has eluded him throughout his illustrious career. Meanwhile, Manchester City’s 22-year-old striker Julian Alvarez contributed significantly to the victory, thus ensuring Argentina’s return to Lusail Stadium on Sunday for either a match against France or Morocco.
Early on, it seemed like Messi was having difficulties with a hamstring injury. Still, Argentina’s talented star made a comeback to score a penalty after 34 minutes because Croatia’s goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic fouled Alvarez. Shortly afterward, Alvarez could extend Argentina’s lead when he collected a header from Messi, then ran with the ball, aided by several lucky bounces off of Josip Juranovic and Borna Sosa, before eventually shooting past Livakovic.
No luck was necessary for a superb goal after the intermission as Messi bewitched Croatia’s outstanding defender Josko Gvardiol on the sideline prior to setting up Alvarez for the goal. Messi now has the opportunity to atone for the heart-breaking defeat in the 2014 World Cup final against Germany in Rio’s renowned Maracana.
