Argentina vs Croatia in the FIFA World Cup 2022 semifinals Highlights:
It may be Messi's final participation at the World Cup after Argentina lost the other final against Germany in 2014. This will be
Messi's second World Cup final. It may still be the ideal way for a player who
is widely recognized as one of the finest players in the game, if not the best,
to retire.
Lionel Messi maintained his path toward winning the World
Cup on a thrilling night at the dazzling Lusail Stadium. He converted a
penalty, planned another for two-goal hero Julian Alvarez, and put on a nearly
vintage performance to dazzle the crowds gathered to witness him and lead his
team to the championship game by defeating Croatia 3-0.
The fans only wanted that. Messi-like moments And he
repeatedly granted their request. None, though, were as impressive as the third
goal's assist. He turned over Mislav Orsic by slicing through the right and
through the touchline's edge. However, Josko Gvardiol, wearing his spidery
mask, was clinging to him like a kid would a parent, denying him the time and
space to move past him or work around him, and therefore luring him away.
Despite the muscle of a defender who is 20 years his junior, Messi maintained
his shape.
He dragged him into the area, bringing him ever-closer to
the goalkeeper, before stopping and turning to get away from him before he
redirected the ball toward Julian Alvarez's path. The latter came within six
yards and merely slotted in. It was as though Messi was planning to record an
entire album of great assists during the World Cup. His vicious ambition was
recorded in that very moment. If fate does not intervene for me, I will.
