Argentina Advances with a 3-0 Win Over Croatia, As Messi Shines Bright
Lionel Messi’s brilliance guided Argentina to a 3-0 victory over Croatia, securing their place in the World Cup final as their quest for a third title intensifies.
Messi, playing with the weight of his legacy and the dreams of his nation on his shoulders, opened the scoring with a composed penalty, leveling him with France’s Kylian Mbappé in the Golden Boot race.
