Messi worked his magic against Brazil and took an undefeated Argentina to the World Cup. Vinicius also shone

And it’s done! Lionel Messi is done. His Argentina has qualified for the World Cup, which will be hosted by Qatar for the first time in history next year. The qualification was made official with tonight’s match against Brazil.

Lionel Messi can once again dream of winning the only trophy missing from his collection. For he and his Argentina team have made it to the World Cup for the fifth time. For Argentina itself, this is the 13th time in a row that it has qualified for the World Cup.

It is worth noting that the country which, apart from Messi, also gave the world Diego Maradona, is doing absolutely superbly in qualifying. It is currently on a 27-match unbeaten run.

In the qualification itself, Argentina has won 8 out of 13 matches and drawn five times. It has already won the qualification 4 rounds before the end of the qualification. The score of 20:6 is not at all discreditable.

The qualification was officially confirmed with a draw against Brazil in the evening. Although no goal was scored in the match, there were some wonderful moments. Even before kick-off, the home fans were calling out the name of their star.

Messi rewarded them with some beautiful action. But two in particular were worthwhile. Unfortunately, neither ended in a goal, even though the PSG player deserved it.

But Angel Di María also showed the fans in a good light. Vinicius shone on the other side with a great feint. Technically, it was clear to see that the two best South American teams are competing.

Apart from Argentina, Brazil, which dominates the group, is also certain to qualify. The remaining two direct promotion places will be fought over. Ecuador could hold on to third place, but only four points separate the fourth and ninth teams in the table.
