5 things that can help Lionel Messi win the World Cup this year

#4. Decent performance from his teammates

His teammates must also step up

After dominating the football world for the past 10 years, there is no doubt that Lionel Messi is one of the greatest footballers in history. On his day, the Argentine can take on opposition defenses all by himself, tearing them apart and producing scintillating performances.

Apart from the Barca legend, Argentina still have a lot of amazing players in the squad. The likes of Gonzalo Higuain, Sergio Aguero, Paulo Dybala, Angel Di Maria, Javier Mascherano, Nicolas Otamendi and Ever Banega are all world-class players who have earned their reputations with stellar performances at club level.

While Messi will be expected to lead the nation to the World Cup triumph in Russia, a decent performance from his teammates in the tournament will make the task a whole lot easier. With all these superstars firing, nothing can stop them from winning the World Cup and making their nation proud.
