Messi's Masterclass Vs Mexico Gives Argentina Hope Of Qualifying For The Round Of 16
Messi Messi Messi the magical man strikes again and has shown us why he is the GOAT(Greatest Of All Time). If you still think this man is not the best then I don't know which planet you leave on because he has done it over and over again, showing the stuff he is made of, Messi is completely out of this world.
Argentina lost their opening match against Saudi Arabia by 2-1, it was a shocker to everyone because Argentina had gone 36 games unbeaten before the match against Saudi Arabia.
The pressure after the loss against Saudi Arabia was on the Argentina players but this man, the GOAT Messi said "There are no excuses," Messi told reporters after the match. "We are going to be more united than ever. This group is strong, and we have shown it. It is a situation that we haven't gone through in a long time. Now we have to show that this is a real group."source
There were pictures of Argentina and Messi laughing and smiling in the training ground and I began to wonder whether the team knew their next match was critical because if they had lost it would be over for Argentina at the World Cup and the hopes and dreams they carried would be shattered.
Again, I saw another picture of Messi smiling while walking to the dressing room with the Argentina squad, then I knew Messi was calm and less worried about the Mexico match last night. The first 45 minutes of the first half between Argentina and Mexico were horrible, I never felt so tense in my life before while watching the match and I am not even from Argentina😂.
Argentina's midfielders lacked quality, they were not able to give Messi the ball when he needed it, and De Paul who is now known for being Messi's bodyguard was terrible, he kept losing the ball more often.
Di Maria was impressive in driving the ball forward and that is how he assisted Messi in the 64th minute, Messi received the ball and played a powerful shot outside the box, and even the mighty Mexican goalkeeper Ochoa was not able to stop the ball from going into the goalposts, you guys have to see the way I shouted😂, I could not contain the joy in my heart and all the tension I had left immediately.
Messi in the 87th minute assisted the second goal scored by Enzo Fernandez and sealed Argentina's victory over Mexico. Lionel Messi is now both the youngest (18y 357d vs Serbia in 2006) and the oldest (35y 155d vs Mexico today) player to both score and assists in a single World Cup game since the start of the 1966 tournament.
The GOAT set up more records for himself, with this motivation there is no stopping Argentina when they face Poland this week. What a huge win for Argentina and Messi because he kept his word and delivered an astonishing performance. In the post-match interview, Messi said "I would tell people to trust, we are not going to let them down". This man's confidence is over the roof.
So guy, I hope you enjoyed this post, thanks for stopping by.
