🇦🇷 Argentina Are in the World Cup Final — Messi's Shot at History
🎟 Tickets
The Moment
Two Messi assists in five minutes. Fernández in the 85th, Lautaro in the 90th+. England had led since the 55th minute. Messi, at 39 years old, produced two of the most important passes of his career inside 90 seconds to put Argentina in a World Cup Final. He is attempting to become the first outfield player since Pelé (1958/1962) to win back-to-back World Cups. Sunday at MetLife is his final chance.
Argentina's Road to the Final
Eight matches. Six wins, one extra-time win (Switzerland), one come-from-behind win tonight. Messi: 8 goals, 5 assists — the tournament's top assist-maker. Lautaro Martínez: 4 goals. Julián Álvarez: 3 goals including the Arrowhead golazo. Emiliano Martínez in goal, arguably the second-best goalkeeper of the tournament behind Unai Simón. Argentina have ground out every result when it matters. That is what champions do.
