Mbappe scored 2 goals and still didn’t win man of the match
The actual best player won Man Of the match
The game is healing. You can’t cover stinkers with goals
❤️🩹 Leo Messi: “I cried after the first goal, yes… but it was something completely unrelated to football”.
“I went through some difficult days, but I’m grateful to the entire delegation and my teammates because they were always by my side, giving me a lot of strength”.
This midfield of De Paul, Mac Allister, Enzo Fernández is just bullies with brains. They're as good on the ball as they're off the ball. Non stop pressing, constant nicks and grabs here and there to slow the play down for opponents. Brilliant.
This Argentina team may not look like contenders on paper given their age and form, but this match just proves they're a force to be reckoned with and if there's one team that can go back-to-back, it's them.
Lastly, Messi let's go get out hattrick in the second half 💃
To summarise. Lionel Messi is...
◉ The oldest player to score a hat-trick at the World Cup (38y 357d)
◉ Joint-top goalscorer at the World Cup (16)
◉ On his record breaking SIXTH World Cup tournament appearance
There are no words. 👏
It’s not too late for the rest of you to admit that Messi is the greatest of all time and appreciate him at this World Cup btw.
I done it at the World Cup 2022 after spending years lying because of club allegiances.
