Wayne Rooney, a legend at Manchester United, said why he thinks Argentina, led by Lionel Messi, can beat France in the FIFA World Cup 2022 final. Argentina won their FIFA World Cup 2022 semi-final match against Croatia by a score of 3-0, securing their place in the final against France. Lionel Messi, the captain, is largely responsible for the victory because he destroyed Croatia with one of the tournament’s best performances.
After Julian Alvarez was brought down by the opposing goalkeeper in the 34th minute, the Argentine genius converted a penalty kick to give his team the lead. After that, in the 39th minute, he passed the ball to Alvarez, who sprinted forward past the Croatian defense to make it 2-0. Messi had a mesmerizing moment in the 69th minute as Croatia attempted a comeback in the second half.
Messi danced past Gvardiol on the right after receiving the ball in the middle and cutting it back to Alvarez, who scored from close range to make it 3-0. Messi also became the first player since 1966 to score and assist in three World Cup matches in a single tournament. Wayne Rooney, a former Manchester United and England player, discussed the reasons why he believes Argentina could defeat France in the final in his Sunday Times column. Rooney had faced Messi on occasion, including in two Barcelona-won UEFA Champions League finals.
“They will fight for Messi and fight to stay in a game knowing that their captain will win it for them. He wrote, “They are a group of scrappers who just don’t know how to give in.” “He has everything in terms of vision,” Rooney said, comparing Messi to the late Diego Maradona. It was clear from the goal he set up for Julián Varez against Croatia that.”
He has everything in terms of vision, and he has what Diego Maradona had in terms of the ability to move past players and then execute the entire spectrum of talents.” As a defender, you are supposed to show Messi the outside when he takes possession, and Josko Gvardiol did just that. Messi went down the line, turned Gvardiol around, then went inside him anyway before making the perfect cutback for Varez to score the third goal.”
