Lionel Messi proves he’s still the man with stunning goal for Argentina vs Mexico
Lionel Messi scored a stunning goal in Argentina’s second 2022 World Cup group stage match against Mexico.
The 35-year-old, regarded by many as the greatest footballer of all time, put Argentina ahead with a beautiful strike from 25 yards.
When Argentina needed Messi most, the great man delivered.
What a hit.
Considering the huge amount of pressure that Messi and his teammates were under at the time, that’s a special moment from the legendary forward.
Despite an incredible atmosphere, the first half was tense with both teams struggling to produce high quality moments at the Lusail Iconic Stadium.
The opening 45 minutes featured 15 fouls but just one shot on target.
Argentina, one of the pre-tournament favourites, appeared to be lacking in confidence following their shock 2-1 defeat to Saudi Arabia.
Under pressure to get a result in their second Group C fixture, the South Americans often looked a shadow of the team that won the Copa America in 2021.
