Argentina have one foot in the World Cup final thanks to Julian Alvarez’s second goal of the match which came after a legendary assist from the great Lionel Messi.
The South American side took the lead in the semi-final after a Messi penalty, which was doubled minutes later thanks to a goal from Man City star Julian Alvarez.
As Croatia pushed for a goal back, the striker grabbed his second, which was put on a plate for the 22-year-old after a sensational assist from Messi which was certainly the best of the tournament so far and can be seen below.
"That was just genius…!"
