Lionel Scaloni was visibly emotional as Messi came off vs. Algeria 🥹
Scaloni has seen it all. He’s been in charge of Argentina for the past eight years. During that time, he’s won one World Cup, two Copa América titles and one Finalissima.
With today’s 3-0 win over Algeria, Messi extended records for:
- Most goals scored at the WC as captain
- Most WC matches played in
- Most minutes played at the WC
And is now the joint top scorer in World Cup history with 16 goals 🐐
Leo Messi:
-Hasn't played in Europe in three years
-Hasn't played in an international tournament in two years
-Has been enjoying Miami in the MLS with his family
And he still came back to the game's biggest stage performing like that 🐐
