The ball always to the '10'. The Argentine national team earned three points in the second match of Group C in Qatar 2022, after defeating the always difficult Mexico by 2-0 at the Lusail Stadium. The goals of the match were scored by PSG forward Lionel Messi and midfielder Enzo Fernández.
This good result brings relief to the Albiceleste, which was heavily criticized by the international press after the surprising defeat in their debut against Saudi Arabia. Now, the roles have been reversed and different media outlets have applauded the performance of the team led by Lionel Scaloni.
After the match ended, some portals described this score as a "breather," while others praised the PSG forward and his leadership on the field.
"We are alive," "Messi plants a flower in the desert," "Messi sets Argentina free," "Argentina needed a Messi with Maradonian rebellion to avoid a knockout and maintain their World Cup hopes," were some of the headlines.
