Lionel Messi confirms retirement: In the December 14 clash against Croatia, the PSG forward scored on a penalty and played equally important in the other two goals scored by Julian Alvarez, pushing his country into the final. Argentina will now face France or Morocco, who will play the second semi-final match today at the Al Bayt Stadium.
Messi led Argentina to a 3-0 win over Croatia in their FIFA World Cup 2022 semifinal on Tuesday night and will earn his 172nd and last cap in the World Cups during the weekend when he tries to take the side to its first global title since 1986 triumph.
