Argentina have one foot in the World Cup final thanks to Julián Álvarez’s second goal of the game, which came after a legendary assist from the great Lionel Messi.
The South American team took the lead in the semi-final after a penalty from Messi, which was doubled minutes later thanks to a goal from Manchester City star Julián Álvarez.
As Croatia searched for a comeback goal, the striker grabbed the second, which was laid on a layup for the 22-year-old after a sensational assist from Messi that was arguably the best of the tournament so far and can be seen below.
“That was great…!”
