With Lionel Messi working his magic, Argentina defeated Croatia 3-0 to advance to the World Cup final, moving him one victory away from the title he most desires.

Apart from either France or Morocco, everyone wants Messi to win this World Cup.

Messi opened the scoring from the penalty spot, Julian Alvarez added a wonderful second goal, and Messi dazzled everyone by setting up Alvarez to complete his hat trick and advance Argentina to the final.

Prior to Argentina taking the lead in the first half, Croatia actually had the better opportunities. However, Argentina never looked back and has now advanced to two of the previous three World Cup finals.

On Sunday, they will take on either France or Morocco in the championship game, with Croatia taking on the loser of the other semifinal on Saturday in the third-place contest.

Alvarez stretches the lines while Messi glides through them. They are a lethal combination that tore Croatia apart. A secondary push spearheaded by the great Enzo Fernandez, Leandro Paredes, and Alexis MacAllister allowed Argentina to win the ball back in midfield and play direct in a devastating way. Argentina had the ideal game plan as they sat back, absorbed pressure, and played direct. Messi is Messi, but for so long he hasn't really had a player up top who can relieve him of the burden and provide him the space he needs to perform at his peak. Alvarez now provides him with that because of his quickness and constant pressure, which provide Messi numerous opportunities. If Argentina plays France in the championship game, they can cause a lot of issues for a frail French defense because to their excellent balance. It seems quite tough to stop Messi and Alvarez in this kind of form, regardless of who they face.

Who else, asks Lionel Messi? He feels the magic that was there for Argentina anytime it was needed. His most illustrious World Cup performance to date. So far.

Julian Alvarez: Won the penalty kick and scored two goals. He was moving slowly, which caused Croatia a lot of issues. works incredibly well with Messi.

What else is there for Luka Modric to do? As usual, the tiny genius had such smooth ball handling and helped Croatia maintain control of the match up to the opening goal. The veteran may not play in another World Cup, but he put on another outstanding performance, as did Mateo Kovacic, who will now make every effort to succeed Modric.

Amazing celebrations with their fans as Messi and his teammates bounce up and down on the field after the final whistle.

GOALLL! Following some Croatian pressure, Argentina has appeared threatening on the break. They are now ahead 3-0. Gvardiol is evaded by Messi, who then sets up Alvarez to score. Goat acting like a goat.

Lionel Messi will undoubtedly be attentively watched by everyone after his absurd assist against the Netherlands demonstrated his extraordinary abilities. In particular, the midfield trio of Enzo Fernandez, Rodrigo de Paul, and Alexis MacAllister have been outstanding for Argentina. The likes of Nicolas Otamendi, Cristian Romero, and Lisandro Martinez have all had good tournaments at the back, but Marcos Acuna and Gonzalo Montiel will be suspended and unavailable for this match.

While the gifted and seasoned trio of Modric, Mateo Kovacic, and Marcelo Brozovic control the midfield for Croatia, center back Josko Gvardiol and left back Borna Sosa have excelled in their respective positions. Dominik Livakovic, the goalie, was the hero as Croatia defeated Brazil and Japan on penalties, and they will need more heroics from him to defeat Argentina.
