Argentina's captain, Lionel Messi, has expressed his confidence that they will go all the way and win the 2022 World Cup.

Messi was speaking after knocking out Croatia on Tuesday night.

The 35-year-old inspired his side to a 3-0 win in their semi-final clash, scoring from the penalty spot and then setting up Julian Alvarez twice.

Messi will feature in his second World Cup final and could end his international career after the tournament.

“The entire World Cup was incredible, what we experienced, and now we are going for the last match, which is what we wanted." We have been through tough situations and very good ones.

“Today, we are living something spectacular." I’m enjoying it with all of these people and all the Argentines that are in our country. "I imagine it has to be crazy,” Messi said.
