Of course, all eyes are on Lionel Messi ahead of the World Cup semi-final between Argentina and Croatia.

Because on Cristiano Ronaldo's social media post after the Portuguese World Cup, Messi teammate Kylian Mbappé reacted with three emojis: a crown, the praying hands – and a goat.

However, this does not mean that the France star considers the CR7 to be a farm animal, quite the opposite.

Ziege means "Goat" in English.

In sports, however, "Goat" is "Greatest Of All Time", as the greatest of all time.

Spicy: Between Messi and CR7 there has always been a fight for the crown of world football.

Is PSG team-mate Mbappé trying to get at Messi?

For another big star, a victory in the World Cup semifinals today could also be another triumph.

Luka Modrić, after all world footballer of 2018, is preparing at the age of 38 to finally hold the World Cup trophy in his hands.

But that would require a win against Messi and Argentina in the World Cup semi-finals.
