Argentina captain Lionel Messi has explained what his team depends on after their 2-1 win over England in the World Cup semi-final on Wednesday.
Messi provided two assists as Lionel Scaloni’s side came from behind to beat the Three Lions. Lautaro Martinez and Enzo Fernandez scored Argentina’s goals.
Speaking after the match, the 39-year-old said his team relies on hard competition, confidence, and strong performances to fight in every game.
“We rely on competition, with strong self-esteem and excellent performance, to fight for every match,” Messi said.
“Because today we played a great game, pressing England in front of their goal after falling behind.
“So, I am very happy, enjoying all of this, and proud and happy to be able to bring joy to all Argentines once again.”
Messi will now hope to lead Argentina to victory when they face Spain in the World Cup final on Sunday.
