Messi has four MOTM awards through five games 😲

Only one more to match his 2022 award cabinet 😂🐐

[SCOREpion 🦂⚽🔥 @Hakeem_Onitolo]

To actually think any footballer is better than Lionel Messi at playing football is to be deliberately dishonest.

Argentina won this match.

On Argentina: this side absolutely has its flaws, many of them, but they’re certified winners, especially when faced with adversity.

Thinking back to the sheer amount of times they’ve beaten the odds under Scaloni - from winning that first Copa America vs Brazil, to winning the World Cup after a matchday 1 defeat against Saudi, to everything we’ve seen at this World Cup.

There’s a ‘dog’ in them not many have. And when it comes down to simply putting their head down and grinding out results, no one does it better.

More good news.

Don Anele Munachimso also won gold in Science.

He is the best in world science.

Remember, he is the best in IGCSE Chemistry in Nigeria.

The investment is worth it.

2 - The last two players to score, complete 5+ dribbles, and create 5+ open play chances in a @FIFAWorldCup match:

🇦🇷 Lionel Messi v Egypt (2026)
🇦🇷 Diego Maradona v Belgium (1986)

Catalysts.

[Premier League Panel @PremLeaguePanel]

2nd match in a row where Messi has moved to the right wing to help provide more balance to Argentina’s attack because playing thru the middle wasn’t working. 39 years old and still capable of world class wing play. Just different 🐐

[POOJA!!! @PoojaMedia]

Covering Messi today again.

This will be my FOURTH time of coverng the GOAT at the World Cup.

Twice in Qatar 2022.
Now Twice in the USA as well.

We move 🔥

This is what champions do.

[Neal 🇦🇺 @NealGardner_]

One of the greatest games of football I’ve ever watched decided by the greatest footballer the world has ever produced. How fitting.

I ran out of words for Lionel Messi about 15 years ago, everything since is a combination of privilege and utter disbelief.

I’m emotional….

[MC @CrewsMat10]

THIS IS GENUINELY THE FIRST TIME I’VE SEEN LIONEL MESSI CELEBRATE A GOAL LIKE THIS. 🥹🐐 https://t.co/mNUHeKzacU

ONE OF THE GREATEST TACKLES EVER

[Premier League Panel @PremLeaguePanel]

Scaloni flipped the match by getting Nico Gonzalez on as left wing width, moving Messi to the right wing & getting Lautaro on as an extra penalty box threat alongside Alvarez. This is what you call top in-game management.

[Barça Universal @BarcaUniversal]

We'll be forever proud to say that the best player of all time came from La Masia. ❤️🥹

[B/R Football @brfootball]

Heroic 🐐

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

🥺🇦🇷 Lionel Messi after the game.

[Guinness World Records @GWR]

Messi has now scored in NINE CONSECUTIVE WORLD CUP MATCHES.

It had to be him.

[Neal 🇦🇺 @NealGardner_]

The best way I can sum up those last 20 minutes is this:

The greatest footballer of all time saw the curtain beginning to fall on his career, simply refused to accept it, and DRAGGED his team to victory.
