This is the fifth time in Argentina's history to reach the World Cup final. For Messi, this is the second time he has reached the final in his career and will also be his last attack on the World Cup championship. Messi, who has countless honors, needs a Hercules Cup to make his career perfect, even impeccable.
In the past two knockout matches, Croatia dragged his opponent into a penalty shootout through a war of attrition, and replicated the magical performance of the previous session, eliminating his opponent in a penalty shootout continuously to advance. The Argentina team narrowly defeated , Netherlands, and in the semifinals. The tortuous process also made the outside world worried that Argentina would be dragged down by Croatia.
But the result was in front of us. Argentina directly destroyed the Croatian team with a devastating attack. Messi and young player Alvarez's frontcourt partner are perfect. The two of them give each other a surprise in the game, and the inheritance and handover of new and old is quite gratifying.
Alvarez rushed straight to the penalty area in 32 minutes in the first half, and Messi took the penalty and scored a penalty. This goal helped Argentina take the lead early.
In the 39th minute, Alvarez got the ball in the backcourt and scored with one dragon, and Argentina started the dream.
In the 69th minute of the second half, Messi ran to the frontcourt with the ball with one dragon, passed the defensive player by juggling style and rushed into the penalty area, passing the ball back to Alvarez waiting in front of the goal, who understood and sent the ball into the goal.
Alvarez sent Messi to the free throw line in the first half, helping Messi complete a goal that made history. In the second half, Messi reciprocates the 22-year-old player, and at the same time, he also sent Argentina directly to the finals.
