Argentina vs Croatia, World Cup 2022 Semi Final Highlights: Alvarez’s brace, Lionel Messi’s penalty help Argentina defeat Croatia 3-0

Argentina vs. Croatia in the FIFA World Cup 2022 Semifinals Highlights: Lionel Messi is back in the World Cup final with Argentina, aiming to win the World Cup for the first time. And, at the age of 35, he couldn’t be playing any better. Argentina defeated Croatia 3-0 on Tuesday, setting up a title match against either France or Morocco on Sunday. Messi converted a penalty and assisted on the other two goals scored by Julián lvarez.

It will be Messi’s second World Cup final — Argentina lost the first one to Germany in 2014 — and it is possible that it will be his last. It could be the ideal way to go out for a player widely regarded as one of the game’s best players, if not the best.

Lineups: Argentina: Emiliano Martinez, Cristian Romero, Nicolas Otamendi, Nahuel Molina, Nicolas Tagliafico, Leandro Paredes, Rodrigo De Paul, Alexis Mac Allister, Enzo Fernandez, Julian Alvarez, Lionel Messi; Croatia: Dominik Livakovic, Borna Sosa, Ivan Perisic, Dejan Lovren, Mateo Kovacic, Andrej Kramaric, Luka Modric, Marcelo Brozovic, Mario Pasalic, Josko Gvardiol, Josip Juranovic
