In preparation for Sunday\u2019s 2022 FIFA World Cup final against France, Argentina captain Lionel Messi reportedly skipped training today, according to Foot Mercato.<\/p>\n
Early in the semi-final game against Croatia, Messi tripped but persevered. Against the Europeans, the former Barcelona player gave a fantastic performance.<\/p>\n
He did, however, occasionally jog hesitantly or hold the back of his thigh. According to the French site, he missed exercise today due to a hamstring problem.<\/p>\n
The entire world is now anxiously awaiting news of the seven-time Ballon d\u2019Or winner\u2019s participation in upcoming sessions.<\/p>\n
In Qatar, Messi has served as his team\u2019s talisman. No one has received more World Cup man-of-the-match accolades than the Paris Saint-Germain attacker\u2019s four.<\/p>\n
The 35-year-old also tops the scoring list and is first in the number of significant chances created. Messi has undoubtedly been the greatest player at the World Cup despite his advanced age and worn-out body.<\/p>\n
Messi contributed to one goal and one assist as Argentina defeated Croatia 3-0 to advance to the championship game. He attempted to repeat his quarterfinal performance, but the Netherlands managed to tie the game and force penalties.<\/p>\n
After four World Cup appearances, Messi scored in the round of 16 to secure his first knockout goal.<\/p>\n
Saudi Arabia began their group stage campaign with an unexpected victory over the Albiceleste. Messi had things going, but Saudi Arabia came back to win in dramatic fashion.<\/p>\n
It lit a fire under Lionel Scaloni. First, they easily defeated Mexico 2-0 thanks to Messi\u2019s goals and assists for Enzo Fernandez. They then defeated Poland to go to the following round.<\/p>\n
Messi is the talisman of his team and the main reason why Argentina hopes to defeat France in the championship game. The current world champions and UEFA Nations League champions are both Europeans.<\/p>\n
In their previous World Cup match, Kylian Mbappe was in sensational form and helped France eliminate Argentina. The game was exciting, and it ended 4-3 with France advancing and taking the trophy.<\/p>\n
