LUSAIL, Qatar \u2014 Two more games, Lionel Messi. Sounds so easy, right. <\/p>\n
Two more games, two more wins, and a large proportion of the soccer-loving global public won’t just be calling you one of the best of this generation, but perhaps the greatest of all-time.<\/p>\n
Messi and Argentina survived an absolute nail-biter here Saturday evening, and, yes, survived is the right word for it.<\/p>\n
After Messi was masterful, lighting up Lusail Stadium with a pass of utter perfection to provide the first goal and a slotting home a nerve-free penalty for another, the Netherlands came storming back to take it to extra-time and a nerve-shredding penalty shootout.<\/p>\n
From the spot, Messi was calm, goalkeeper Emi Martinez was outstanding with two huge saves, and Lautaro Martinez fired in the clincher.<\/p>\n
