Lionel Messi starred as Argentina progressed to the quarter-finals of the World Cup with a 2-1 win over Australia.
Messi marked the 1,000th senior game of his career with a measured finish for the breakthrough goal late in the first half and Mat Ryan’s error allowed Julian Alvarez to double the advantage early in the second.
There were late scares for Argentina after Craig Goodwin’s shot deflected in off Enzo Fernandez and it needed a dramatic tackle from Lisandro Martinez and a fine save from Emiliano Martinez for them to hold on.
It was a spirited effort from Graham Arnold’s side who can be proud of their tournament but it is Messi and Argentina who will face the Netherlands in the last eight. This is not always a fluent Argentina side but with the little genius in the team they can dream.

Lautaro Martinez is Higuain version 2.
Messi created two chances for him to score and he missed them.

Messi is still GOAT. Go back to Barcelona with low salaries and save them. So he will become Legend.
He maybe the goat but he has the weirdest ears I've ever seen

Netherlands will beat them I think
Really pleased for Pilesnal Pessi

You lived in the time of Messi…..🐐🐐🐐❤️💚❤️💚⌚🐐🐐🐐
Without Messi this team wouldn’t have made it through the group stages that’s how important he is even at his age
One step at a time, let's see who wins this year mundial
To be honest, Argentina should beat the Netherlands in the quarterfinals.
Messi, show me your skills.
Argentiana missed so so many chances , ,they need to put them in the back of the net for the Dutch match
The Greatest of all time, there is no sugar coating it, he really is…
Messi… The Magic Man
What a player Messi is still going strong and still scoring goals 🤩
Idk what games you were watching, but messi is no star at this worldcup nor is cristiano. The real stars are those underrated teams who managed to knock off so called elites in group qualifiers.
We can forgive messi 🇦🇺
We also just uploaded our England ratings. Agree ?
I love football love Messi Argentina From Bangladesh 🇧🇩 🇦🇷
Messi all of the way king goat legend ❤😂🎉😢😮😅
