In a show of superior class, Argentina have advanced to the final of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar after beating Croatia 3-0.
Lionel Messi opened the scoring in the 34th minute, from the spot after Alvarez was brought down in the box.
The striker who won the penalty then doubled the lead in the 39th minute, after a brilliant run from the centre of the pitch to produce a ‘FIFA 11’ kind of goal. At the 69th minute, the Man City man then completed his brace in the game with a magical assist from Messi.
The PSG star who became the first player to score and assist in different games in a single World Cup has taken his all-time goal tally at the tournament to 11, the highest in the history of his country.
