Lionel Messi could finally win a World Cup with Argentina at the end of this week. It's likely to be the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner's final chance to win the competition, but his side have every chance of doing exactly that.
First though, they have to get past a resilient Croatia side led by Real Madrid stalwart Luka Modric. Despite going to penalties twice already at this year's World Cup, the Croatians have managed to eliminate both Japan and tournament favourites Brazil as they look to make the final of the competition for the second-time running.
That wouldn't be the fairytale ending some might think Messi deserves, though. The now Paris-Saint Germain forward has been a superstar for the best part of two decades, largely because of decisions he's made both on and off the pitch.
