With his fifth goal in Qatar, he also surpassed Gabriel Batistuta as the top Albiceleste scorer at the World Cup, netting 11 times.
Messi said, “It’s all well and good (records), but the important thing is to be able to achieve the purpose of the group, which is the most beautiful thing.” “We are just one step away after working hard, and we are going to give everything to make it happen this time.”
Tuesday’s victory prompted thousands of fans to take to the streets of Argentina to celebrate the national team’s sixth World Cup final appearance. France will take on Morocco in the other semi-final later on Wednesday.
