Argentina’s superstar footballer Lionel Messi led the team to the finals of the Qatar World Cup on the strength of a wonderful game. As a captain, he has shown great performance for the team along with making a good strategy. Argentina’s team has qualified for the final after defeating Croatia 3-0 in the semi-finals. After achieving this success, captain Messi surprised everyone by announcing his retirement.
Argentina beat last-time runners-up Croatia 3-0 in the first semi-final of the tournament late on Tuesday. Captain Messi scored one goal while creating one goal-scoring opportunity. In this competition, he was selected as the player of the match for his excellent performance. The final match of the Argentinian team will now take place on December 18 with the winning team of the second semi-final between France and Morocco.
Messi spoke to the Argentine media after the match about his retirement. “I am very happy with what I have achieved,” he said. I will end my World Cup journey with the finals played in this World Cup. The next World Cup is still years away and I don’t think I will be able to play it and the way I am going to end this World Cup, nothing could have been better for me.
