Lionel Messi and Lisandro Martinez
Over the past few weeks, Lisandro Martinez has been in outstanding form for Manchester United, becoming a fan favorite at Old Trafford. The £46 million acquisition demonstrated his significance for Argentina by playing the full 90 minutes in a 3-0 victory over Honduras. He is very confident about Argentina’s squad and they are ready to do everything for Lionel Messi.
The center-back afterwards discussed how the Argentina team is feeling confident going into the World Cup in Qatar in November. With Lionel Messi in their starting lineup, Argentina is regarded as one of the favorites for the competition.
He continued by expressing his gratitude for the manager Lionel Scaloni’s confidence in choosing him to start despite the busy week that required him to fly from England to Argentina to obtain a visa before continuing on to Miami for the match.
Raphael Varane, a center back who helped France win the World Cup, is already a member of United. Martinez winning this year’s tournament with Argentina and making it two would be pretty something. Argentina won the Copa America last summer and went undefeated in World Cup qualifying with 11 victories, 6 ties, and no losses. It’s understandable why Martinez is confident.

Lionel Messi made Argentina unbeaten in 34 games after scoring twice against Honduras
After extending their unbeaten streak to 34 games, Argentina now appears to be a strong candidate to win this year’s World Cup. On Friday night in Miami, Argentina defeated Honduras 3-0 in a friendly match thanks to a performance by Lionel Messi. After claiming credit for a pre-assist on Lautaro Martinez’s opening goal at Hard Rock Stadium, Messi scored twice.
After a quarter of an hour, the PSG star found Papu Gomez with a superb pass over the Honduras defense, who squared for Martinez to score. After Marcelo Santos fouled Giovani Lo Celso in the first half’s extra period, Messi calmly converted the resulting penalty. The game-winning play occurred on minute 68, when Messi received the ball from 30 yards out after Carlos Melendez had been tackled by Enzo Fernandez.
