Argentina le pega a Croacia en la Semifinal de Qatar 2022 gracias a un gol de penal de Lionel Messi, quien superó a Gabriel Batistuta.
¡Lionel Messi sigue agrandando su legado! La estrella de Argentina abrió el marcador en la Semifinal de la Copa del Mundo de Qatar ante Croacia con un potente tiro de penal que superó al guardameta Dominik Livakovic.
Fue el propio portero del Dinamo de Zagreb quien cometió una infracción dentro del área sobre Julián Álvarez; el silbante italiano Daniele Orsato esperó un momento para ver el desenlace de la acción y luego sancionó la falta.
Fue entonces que Messi tomó la pelota y con un zurdazo cruzado y arriba venció el lance de Livakovic, quien se había confirmado como un especialista en las tandas ante Japón y Brasil.

El tanto le permitió a Leo Messi, quien en Qatar 2022 disputa su quinta justa mundialista, convertirse en el máximo anotador de la Albiceleste en la historia de la Copa del Mundo, pues sus 11 goles superan los 10 que marcara el exdelantero Gabriel Batistuta.
El futbolista del París Saint-Germain firmó así su quinta conquista en lo que va del Mundial de Qatar, pues ya le marcó a México, Polonia y Australia.
