Lionel Messi is aiming for one last shot at World Cup glory

Argentina made it 33 matches without defeat thanks to impressive wins over Italy and Estonia in the last few days.

Thanks to their recent victories, Lionel Scaloni’s side has muscled their way into the World Cup picture and has seen their odds of lifting the trophy shorten significantly.

Despite now being in the twilight of his career, Lionel Messi has shown that he is still one of the world’s best footballers.

In the Finalissima, Messi was influential and helped his teammates swarm an Italian defense as they ran out comfortable 3-0 winners.

Against Estonia, Messi was at his brilliant best, scoring all five of Argentina’s goals.

Messi will be 35 later this month, and this will be his last major international tournament. He will be determined to capture the one prize that has alluded him.

Argentina has one match left before they embark on their bid for World Cup glory. With group matches against Saudi Arabia, Mexico, and Poland, Argentina will hope that Messi finds his form at just the right time.
