Argentine star Lionel Messi He opened his fifth World Cup bitterly on Tuesday, beating Saudi Arabia 2-1 in Albiceleste’s first match of Qatar-2022 at the Lusail stadium.
(Relevant person spoke: Lionel Messi: The Saudi football player who celebrated his victory to his face told him).
The Argentina captain opened the score with a penalty (10) against Leandro Paredes just minutes after embarrassing goalkeeper Mohamed Allowais with a small field goal (2).
This is how Messi scored his seventh World Cup goal, all scoring in the group stages of World Cup tournaments, but still a long way from Miroslav Klose’s record of 16 World Cup goals with 16 goals. The Argentine captain made up for a missed penalty (1-1) in his first match against Iceland in the last World Cup Russia-2018. But with the defeat, his joy was lost.
In fact, during the comeback in Arabia, Messi was the lead character. And all because the defender Al-Bulaihi went looking for him to provoke him. ’10’ did not stand still.
(You can read the memes of “A draw, how does it feel?” and Argentina’s brutal defeat to Arabia).
This Tuesday, Messi led Albiceleste on the court of the Lusail stadium where, in addition to the penalty goal, he saw a goal that was canceled due to offside after receiving an intermediate ball (22).
The Albiceleste captain can be seen instructing or asking teammates for a head in a match that starts to go wrong for Albiceleste in the second half.
Exactly Messi’s turnover ended with the first goal of Saled Alshehri (48). The captain made a quick entry into the field and equalized, but Hassan Al-Tambarktun was about to shoot and snatched the ball away from him (55).
Unlike in many other cases, Messi was unable to save his team, which had not lost the first match of the World Cup since Italy-1990, even though it came close to a draw.
And at 2-1 time, Saudi defender Al-Bulaihi went looking for him to celebrate the goal to his face.
Questioned, Messi reacted in his own way. She looked at him, challenged him, but did not let him win the war.
