After the victory over Peru, Argentina, which extended its unbeaten run to 25 games, almost touched the World Cup ticket with one hand. Unfortunately, Messi did not break the spell of never scoring the Peruvian goal in a World Cup qualifier, but Argentine fans believe that Messi has reached the peak of his national team career in 2021.
At the beginning of his national team career, Messi did not win the recognition of Argentine fans, and the Argentine media, fans even ridiculed him as "Messi in the TV". However, leading the Blue and White to win the Copa America in 2021, breaking the curse of not being able to win the championship in 28 years, allowed Messi to completely conquer the discerning Argentine fans.
After setting a 25-game unbeaten record, Argentina are expected to get tickets to the World Cup early in November. Messi and the Blue and White's outstanding performances, such a brilliant performance, made TYC TV ask a question, "Is this the best version of Messi for the national team?" ”
According to the survey, Argentine fans also agree with this view, 66% of fans think there is "no doubt", 24% of fans think Messi's performance is "as good as ever", and only 10% of fans think Messi's performance "will be better".
Seven years later, Scaloni's coaching brought Messi to another peak, and winning the Copa America broke messi's fate. TYC TV commented, "Today, Messi is a mature and undisputed team leader, empowering young players and helping the national team lift the trophy. ”
After winning the Copa America, Messi may have only one goal left in his national team career, which is to lift the World Cup. If this wish is fulfilled, then even in the minds of Argentine fans, he will be able to match or even surpass Maradona.
