Lionel Messi finally showed his critics that he is as good for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chile-c2871 last night, Messi masterfully led the Argentine attack and was in remarkable form.
In a performance that showed that he can be truly exceptional for both club and country, Messi scored in the 25th minute after receiving a pass from Gonzalo Higuain, who himself was in stupendous form and netted a magnificent hat-trick.
The goal holds great importance for Lionel Messi as he was unable to score in his last 16 appearances for the South American side. The goal brings an end to Messi’s dry spell which stretched to around 2 and half years. For someone with the class that Messi
has, such an extended draught is simply unbelievable.
Many consider him the all time greatest player of the game; even more believe that he is the best player in the world right now. His performances for Barcelona have always exceeded expectations.
The number of assists that he has been able to make and his goals tally over the years is almost record-breaking. His statistics are exceptional and aged 24, Messi has his best years ahead of him.
The messiah’s performances for his country have seldom lived up to what was expected of the young Argentine and his role for Argentina in the 2010 FIFA World Cup was underachieving to say the least.
His inability to perform exceptionally had many worried that he may end his international career prematurely. Some even wanted him to quit playing for Argentina. But Lionel Messi stayed, and stayed adamant to perform as well as for his county as he did for
his club.
And with last night’s performance, Messi has surely shown that he is fully capable of leading Argentina and perform as well as it is hoped of him.
