World Cup 2026: Lionel Messi reveals what Argentina relies on

Argentina captain, Lionel Messi, has revealed what his team relies on following their World Cup semi-final 2-1 win against England on Wednesday.

Messi helped Argentina by providing two assists as Lionel Scaloni’s side defeated the Three Lions, thanks to goals from Lautaro Martinez and Enzo Fernandez.

Speaking at his post-match interview after the game, the 39-year-old forward said his team relies on competition, with strong self-esteem and excellent performance, to fight for every match.

“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.
