Qatar v Argentina: Group B - Copa America Brazil 2019
When one talks about Argentina, the first thing that comes to mind is Lionel Messi. In a much needed win, the Barcelona star did not disappoint as he led his side to victory and sealed a clash against Venezuela in the knockout phases after finishing their group in the second place after group leaders Colombia.

Messi was sublime as always. Though he did not have a goal or an assist to his name, he was instrumental for his national side's win against Qatar.
The 32-year-old was last night's man of the match as he attempted 40 passes with an accuracy of 83%, created 2 chances, won 6 duels and had 2 successful dribbles.
The five time Ballon d'Or winner is striving for international glory and crashing out of the Copa America in group stages would have been embarrassing. Messi after the game implied, now that they have cleared the group stages, it will be all to play for.
