Messi has enjoyed a mixed 2022 World Cup so far with his national team Argentina. La Albiceleste suffered one of the biggest shock defeats in World Cup history in its first match of the tournament, with Messi and co being defeated 2-1 by Saudi Arabia.
But the PSG star produced a stellar display against Mexico in the team's next game, scoring a stunning long-range goal in a 2-0 win, which puts them back in control of their own destiny. Argentina will take on Poland in its final group match on the evening of Wednesday, November 30, knowing that a win will see them reach the knockout stages.
