Lionel Messi is at his best and Argentina is benefiting from it. 'La Pulga' was again key for the 'albiceleste', despite the fact that they ended up suffering against the Netherlands
Of the pass of Argentina to the semifinals of the Glass of the World have remained a lot of mini histories. It was a party 'crazy' in which it happened of everything, put the albiceleste encarriló very soon his triumph in the statutory time, but crashed against some Low Countries that did not give by dead person and litigated to the end, although it finished 'dying' in the bank.
Between the effectiveness of the 'Dibu' Martínez (detained two penaltis) and the faith inquebrantable of an Argentinian that only erró a launching (the one of Enzo Fernández), the ones of Lionel Scaloni classified in an unforgettable night for all the Argentinians, especially for Lionel Messi that went back to get dressed of star to head to his to some new 'semis'.
It was the attendant to invent an impossible pass for the goal with which Nahuel Molina opened the marker and also commissioned to convert a penalti in the second half. It did not fail, neither in the batch of penal against Noppert. Once again, 'The Flea' has showed that is in state of grace and that it is one of the 'big' cracks of this World-wide.
His more important intervention was in the goal of the side of the Athletic of Madrid. And it is that in the 35', the one of the Paris Saint-Germain did not have any problem to leave of his marker with the body, won a metre of distance in the mark without touching the balloon to invent a pass sensacional, almost without looking, that received Molina, the one who controlled and defined with the outside of the right boot to command it to the long stick and raise to all of his seats.
Night of records
Leo Messi has celebrated two records in the victory of Argentina on Low Countries. First, with the assistance to Nahuel Molina has turned into the maximum assistant in final phases of a Glass of the World, with five, surpassing to Peeled, according to registers of Opts from 1966.
Likewise, Messi has equalised to Gabriel Batistuta like the maximum artilleryman of the history of Argentina in the Glass of the World, with ten. It achieved it with a goal from the point penalti in the second half after a fault of Dumfries on Coins in the small area.
