Lionel Messi has opened up on how his family “suffer” during the World Cup and that his son Mateo has already been left in tears due to the tournament’s emotion.
Messi and Enzo Fernandez netted superb goals to seal a vital victory for Lionel Scaloni’s side against a passive Mexico on Saturday evening. Had Argentina lost their second game, they would have crashed out of the tournament following their shock opening-match loss against Saudi Arabia.
It has been a pressure-filled week for Argentina, who are one of the most fervent football nations in the tournament who entered the World Cup with a 36-match unbeaten run and as one of the favourites to win the competition. The emotion was evident on the Argentine bench during the match.
