Lionel Messi has once again proven to be the difference for Argentina during their World Cup quarter-final against the Netherlands on Friday evening.
The Argentine superstar has enjoyed a brilliant game, playing a vital role in full-back Nahuel Molina’s first-half opener.
Clearly not content with just an assist, the Paris Saint-Germain wide-attacker found himself on the scoresheet after successfully converting a penalty kick following Denzel Dumfries’ challenge on Marcos Acuna.
Of course. Lionel Messi ?
