He assisted 2 and Argentina scored 3 tho

Messi tried somewhat, Messi fought for a short time in the match, Messi accidentally assisted one and got another in the last minute - and Messi left another international tournament having failed

I am unsure whether it was inability or not wanting enough but the fact is that Messi didn't deliver here. To me he looked like he resign to be the Nr 2 to Cristiano's 1 legacy wise. No fight, no passion - absolutely nothing where he was looking like he wanted to put his will on the game.

I still remember when the 'it's not a pure assist/goal' argument was used against CR7, now it's flipped to Messi :lol:

But we all still cherish Pippo for his first goal in Istanbul 2007

Pippo's goal was the best goal ever scored in a CL final.
