Lionel Messi’s final game in an Argentina jersey couldn’t have been anything other than… iconic!
Not only because of everything the GOAT has experienced on and off the field, but also because of what he accomplished on the pitch at the “Monumental” against Benin.
ΣΧΕΤΙΚΑ ΑΡΘΡΑ
Because “La Pulga’s” latest performance was out of this world, as he dominated at least six different statistical categories in the match, showing… no signs of slowing down at 39 years old!
Beyond the goal he scored and the two assists he provided, Messi also… dominated in other categories.
“Leo” had 9 shots on goal, 5 of which were on target.
He recorded an astonishing 1.97 xGoals and had the most touches in the opponent’s box (12).
He created 4 chances, completed 4 successful dribbles, and made 41 passes in the final third of the field.
Magical, unbeatable, or simply… Lionel Messi!
