Argentina beat Croatia 3-0 in the semi-finals of the World Cup and managed to qualify for the finals of football’s biggest competition for the second time in a row.
Julian Alvarez scored the goals in the 39th and 69th minutes, while Lionel Messi also scored in the 34th minute from the penalty.
The match was commented by Lionel Messi, who touched the final for the second time in his career.
“I’m very excited about all of this. The finale is everything we wanted. Our fans and families followed us during the World Cup”.
“We have experienced something special and we are one game away from realizing our dreams.”
“We asked people to believe in us. This group of players is crazy”, said Lionel Messi after the match.
Messi gave great credit to the selector, Lionel Scaloni, who, according to him, together with the staff, knows how to prepare the matches very well.
“Scaloni had said it. It is a very intelligent group, that knows how to suffer when it has to suffer, to have the ball when it has to, when it can press, when it has to go back”.
“Above all, they prepare the matches very well. They have a very good coaching staff who leave nothing to chance. They let you know every detail of every match and then it happens. This is a big help when we are in the field. We are not lost at any moment, at any moment we know what we have to do and how the matches will be played, we knew that the game would be like this and that’s why we didn’t despair,” Messi declared.
