Klopp's reaction to penalty given to Messi in World Cup final

With a great definition of the number 10 of the national team, the Argentine team took the lead in the decisive match of the World Cup. A few minutes later, a perfect counter-attack by Scaloni's team ended in the second thanks to Fideo. Argentina is going and going. They have the upper hand in the final against France and are looking to widen the gap. Many high points in the team: Di Maria, De Paul, Messi, with a little arrow up the pitch.

With a total of 26 matches, the Albiceleste striker sets a new record as the player with the most World Cup appearances. Hard to beat, as La Pulga has played in five World Cups. To match Matthaus' legacy, Lionel Messi will need to emerge victorious against France. Lothar Matthaus won the 1990 World Cup in Italy. It was precisely on that occasion that West Germany beat Argentina to threaten their third star.

From Germany 2006, when he played three matches; South Africa 2010, with five; Brazil 2014, with seven; and Russia 2018, with four, to Qatar 2022, with seven. 26 matches. Unmatched.
