Lionel Messi remains central to Argentina's plans.
Four years ago, it seemed that Lionel Messi's story was over. At the age of 35, he finally won the World Cup, which he said was his last match in the tournament. According to many, with this victory, he cemented himself in the seat of football's greatest player of all time. But four years ago, at the age of 31, many thought, especially those around him, that he would be playing in his last World Cup match and would not be able to add a World Cup trophy to his career. But at the age of 39 he again reached a World Cup final, this time as Argentina beat England 2-1. Argentina won this match thanks to two great assists by Messi. It was Messi's fourth assist of the 2026 World Cup, and his tally of eight goals. He is currently second in the tournament in terms of goalscorers and assists. Messi has scored a total of 21 goals since his debut in the World Cup in 1994, 15 of which he scored after 35 years. Commenting on Messi's performance in the England-Argentina semi-final on Wednesday, 9 August, Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni said, "He's the best player in history. I know, he doesn't have to prove it anymore. Most people in Spain are in love with him."
BBC football pundit Micah Richards said, "It was a special night for Argentina. They knew that Lionel Messi could do anything for them against England. Many of the England players have praised Messi, but they will not suffer from inferiority complex. But when playing against a player like Messi, playing responsibly and praising — England should have gone beyond that and stopped him."
Messi has never played against England. However, England coach Thomas Tuchel and the Three Lions (England national football team) supporters would wish that Messi never played against England. Messi's game in this match was incredible. Especially in the second half, when he moved to the right wing. After some excellent passes in the first half, he didn't move much. But in the second half, especially when England went ahead in the 55th minute, his play increased throughout the match.
Emiliano Martínez, Argentina's goalkeeper, said, "It was important to put Lionel Messi on the wing to put pressure on the other team's defenders."
Messi achieved a total of 88% positions in that match, that is, 88% of the positions Argentina took in the entire match were for Messi. Messi made 7 crosses in that match, which was the highest. He also scored 7 sweet spots (areas close to opposing defenders where attacking players try to get the ball and score), which was also the highest for the match. Messi had 4 key passes in the match, which was the highest in the match, in addition to providing two excellent assists. However, Messi's performance was praised by England players too. England captain Harry Kane said, "Messi is the most dangerous player in the world. When he has the ball at his feet, he can do things no other player can."
Now the question is, will Messi win the Golden Boot in this World Cup? Messi has scored 8 goals in this World Cup, which is very close to his 9 goals in the last World Cup. He failed to win the Golden Boot in the last World Cup by 1 goal. However, he and Kylian Mbappe have scored 8 goals in the list of highest scorers in this World Cup. Mbappe's side France will play England in the 3rd place match.
What happens next
আর্জেন্টিনা এখন ফাইনালে স্পেনের বিরুদ্ধে মুখোমুখি হবে, যেখানে মেসির অভিজ্ঞতা এবং দক্ষতা তাদের জন্য গুরুত্বপূর্ণ ভূমিকা পালন করবে। বিশ্বকাপ ২০২৬-এর এই ফাইনালটি মেসির ক্যারিয়ারের জন্য একটি নতুন অধ্যায় হতে পারে, যেখানে তিনি আবারও বিশ্ব চ্যাম্পিয়ন হওয়ার সুযোগ পাবেন। ফুটবল বিশ্বের নজর এখন এই ম্যাচের দিকে, যেখানে মেসির নেতৃত্বে আর্জেন্টিনা নতুন ইতিহাস রচনা করতে পারে।
