This is unreal. He’s touching 40. This isn’t a comp of him as a 23 year old against Oviedo. This is a semi final of the World Cup when his team and country needed him. You can only be in awe 🙌🏽🔥

1 - From the 76th minute onwards in Argentina's 3-2 comeback win over Egypt, Lionel Messi had the most touches (27) and was the only player to have multiple shots (2), chances created (2), dribbles (2) and touches in the opposition box (5).

Catalyst.

Lionel Messi has now scored in NINE consecutive World Cup matches 🤯

This is always the problem. He diminishes everything he is not number one or he cannot achieve.

Zero sportsmanship.

When he was winning BDOR, he never imagined another person would win more than him, all of a sudden, it became an award that has no value.

Now, Euros is at par with the World Cup, just because you can’t win it.

Always talking down on things he can’t achieve, not nice at all.

[BBC Sport @BBCSport]
