Maestro in big win Messi scored one goal and added one assist on two shots and two chances created during Tuesday's 3-0 victory over Croatia.

Impact Messi was once again at the top of his game and ran circles around a tired Croatia defensive unit all evening long. He converted a penalty kick in the 34th minute to open the scoring in this contest and gave known PK-killer Dominik Livakovic absolutely no chance to stop his strike into the top right. He later assisted on Julian Alvarez's final tally of the game in the 69th minute to help close the evening in style. For Messi, it will now all boil down to the World Cup final Sunday against the eventual winner of France versus Morocco.
