This might be Lionel Messi’s last time competing in a FIFA World Cup, and there’s no doubt he is making the most of his time on the pitch this tournament.
So far, Argentina’s best-known forward Messi has scored three goals throughout this year’s World Cup tournament. Messi’s three goals occurred throughout three out of four of Argentina’s games played. The first goal was scored in Argentina’s first group stage game against Saudi Arabia, the second goal was scored in a group stage game with Mexico, and the third goal was scored during Argentina’s round of 16 matchup with Australia.
This first 2022 World Cup goal for Messi made him the first Argentine player to score in four different World Cup tournaments . The next shot Messi sunk into the net occurred during Argentina’s 2-0 domination over Mexico, which was their second group stage battle of the tournament. During the match, both Messi and his fellow teammate midfielder Enzo Fernandez scored for the Blue and Whites. Messi’s goal, which was a strike from outside the box, came after 63 minutes of deadlock.Messi didn’t score in Argentina’s third game, which was the group stage finale against Poland.
