An old social media post from Argentina boss Lionel Scaloni urging Lionel Messi not to quit the national team from 2016 has gone viral after the duo booked their spot in the World Cup final.
Messi, 35, has been influential for Argentina during their run in Qatar and it was no surprise when the Paris Saint-Germain star upped the ante to put Croatia to the sword on Monday night. After firing Scaloni's side into an early lead from the penalty spot, Messi embarked on a stunning solo run to tee up Manchester City striker Julian Alvarez for the second his two goals on the night to cap a 3-0 win.
The result means that the Albiceleste have an opportunity to claim a third world title when they meet either France or Morocco on Sunday evening at Lusail Stadium.
