Argentina captain and football icon Lionel Messi was more fired up than usual on Friday night when he helped guide his country to the last four of the World Cup at the expense of the Netherlands.
The seven-time Ballon d'Or winner delightfully assisted the game's opening goal after playing an eye of the needle through ball into the path of Nahuel Molina, before doubling Argentina's advantage mid-way through the second-half from the penalty spot.
As the thousands of fans of La Seleccion erupted with joy following Messi's spot-kick, the player himself seemingly only had one thing on his mind - revenge. The 35-year-old jogged into the direction of the Oranje boss Louis van Gaal, before cupping his ears and simply standing there for a few seconds.
