A giant Lionel Messi shirt flew through the skies of Argentina 1:58
(CNN Spanish) --
Lionel Messi has been Argentina's top soccer star for many years and, for some, the country's best soccer player of all time.
His record would never fit in a showcase, as he has won dozens of titles and awards for the best player, with hundreds of goals and assists of his own.
The last record that Messi broke was just this Tuesday, in the semifinal of the Qatar 2022 World Cup, when he scored from a penalty and thereby surpassed Gabriel Batistuta as the top Argentine scorer in World Cups.
This goal contributed to the 3-0 victory against the Croats, with which Argentina reached the final of Qatar 2022 and will now face France, the current world champion.

This means that we will see the Argentine captain in one more final, perhaps the most important so far and number 40 in which, if all goes well, he will have minutes.
