The figures often show what a soccer player does on the field of play, but for Lionel Messi stats can be skipped and just see what you do on the field of play. “Did you see what Messi played?”, they wonder. Argentina vs. Australia’s Qatar 2022 It was a 10 display.
It was the round of 16 of the World Cup in his official match number 1000, Lionel Messi assumed what he has to do as leader, captain, figure of all of Argentina. He took the ball with authority and always thought of the rival area. And finally he had to break the bad streak of not scoring in the KO phase.
“I am very happy for this victory and to take one more step. We wanted to be here because of what it feels like, because of what people transmit. We must remain united”, said Lionel Messi at the end of the match. One more step and now it’s up to the Netherlands, a rival he already faced in 2014.
“Player from another galaxy”, the journalist Juan Pablo Varsky qualifies him, and he let Leo know when he testified for DirecTV. “An extraordinary performance”, he told him to make Messi smile.
Lionel Messi is a trend for being the figure of the field. But was it his best game in World Cup history? He played his 22nd game in the World Cup and that’s how he lived.
