After the 2026 World Cup win, Spain legend Carles Puyol stated that Argentina reached the final "thanks to Lionel Messi." Spain has once again claimed global soccer supremacy, securing its second World Cup title in a 1-0 victory over an Argentina squad that was thoroughly outplayed from kickoff to the final whistle. Following the match, Spanish legend Carles Puyol offered a blunt assessment of the final, arguing that the Albiceleste reached the championship match solely “thanks to Lionel Messi.“ With its signature possession-based style, Spain neutralized Argentina’s attack, holding the defending champions without a single shot on target throughout 120 minutes. The offensive outage came as a shock, given that Argentina entered the match as one of the tournament’s top-scoring teams with 19 goals, trailing only France and England (20 apiece), who padded their tallies during a wild 6-4 third-place playoff. Speaking to DAZN, Puyol lauded his former Barcelona teammate while emphasizing just how much the team relied on him: “If this Argentina team reached the final, it is thanks to Messi. I don’t want to talk about previous World Cups, but in this one they held onto Messi and he carried them all the way to the final. It wasn’t enough to become champions, but no—I hat’s off to him.“ As the captain who raised Spain’s first World Cup trophy in 2010, Puyol watched Messi evolve from a teenage prodigy at Barcelona into a global superstar. Decades later, the 39-year-old playmaker delivered another vintage tournament run, though it ultimately wasn’t enough to compensate for a lineup that proved overly reliant on its iconic captain. Lionel Messi of FC Barcelona walks with former teammate Carles Puyol. Puyol closed his remarks with a heartfelt tribute to his former teammate .”I will be eternally grateful to Leo Messi for everything he gave us as a teammate and also for everything he has given to football, and I will always wish him the very best,” the former defender concluded. Messi’s statistical dominance for Argentina in North America While players like Julian Alvarez, Lautaro Martinez, Enzo Fernandez, and Cristian Romero delivered clutch moments during the knockout stages, Messi remained the statistical engine driving Argentina’s entire campaign. The Inter Miami star led Argentina across virtually every major offensive category during the tournament, finishing top on the team in goals (8), assists (4), shots per game (4.4), shots on target per game (2.3), big chances created (8), key passes per game (3.3), and successful dribbles per game (3.5). Conversely, Messi also led the team in dispossessions, losing possession 19.4 times per match. Rather than a flaw, that stat underscored just how heavily Argentina’s attack funnelled through their captain, a burden he embraced as he consistently created goals out of thin air throughout their final run.
As both nations prepare for an emotional farewell to the tournament, supporters are eager to discover how the two star forwards fit into the plans for a match that few teams ever want to play. France and England have one final opportunity to leave the 2026 World Cup with a positive result, but one question has dominated the buildup to the third-place playoff: will Kylian Mbappe and Harry Kane take the field? As both nations prepare for an emotional farewell to the tournament, supporters are eager to discover how the two star forwards fit into the plans for a match that few teams ever want to play. While Kylian Mbappe continues his pursuit of another Golden Boot and Harry Kane remains one of England’s biggest attacking threats, both teams enter the contest carrying the disappointment of semifinal exits. The match offers a chance to finish on a high despite falling just short of the World Cup final. Both national teams entered the knockout stage with genuine ambitions of lifting the trophy, but instead find themselves competing for third place in Miami. France suffered a 2-0 defeat to Spain in the semifinals after being widely viewed as one of the tournament favorites. England‘s exit proved even more painful, surrendering a second-half lead before Argentina scored twice late through Enzo Fernández and Lautaro Martinez to secure a 2-1 victory.

Kylian Mbappe will start for France, but Harry Kane has been benched. Although neither side wanted to be involved in the third-place playoff, individual honors have added another layer of intrigue. The Frenchman enters the match tied on eight goals with Lionel Messi, although the Argentine currently leads the Golden Boot race thanks to the assists tiebreaker. Another goal would also move the French captain closer to matching the all-time World Cup scoring record. Kylian Mbappe of France (R) and Harry Kane of England (L) On the other hand, the English star remains in contention as well after an impressive tournament, while Jude Bellingham has also enjoyed an outstanding scoring campaign. England, therefore, still has attacking incentives despite missing out on the final. France vs England: Confirmed lineups France confirmed XI (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Gusto, Konaté, Lacroix, Theo Hernández; Zaïre-Emery, Rabiot; Olise, Cherki, Doué; Mbappé.

In Argentina's recent victory over England, Lionel Messi once again stole the spotlight with his assists and leadership. However, Alexis Mac Allister has broken a World Cup record, also leaving his mark on the competition's history. Argentina managed to defeat England, producing a brilliant collective performance. Lionel Messi turned the match around. Providing two assists, the 39-year-old star led the comeback alongside Enzo Fernández and Lautaro Martínez. Despite not being in the spotlight, Alexis Mac Allister broke a World Cup record, writing his name into the tournament’s history. According to OptaJoe, via X, formerly Twitter, Alexis Mac Allister has become the player with the longest unbeaten run in World Cup history. Of the 13 matches he has played, he has won 11 and drawn 2, with both draws ending in penalty shootout victories. He made his debut in the competition at Qatar 2022, where he established as an undisputed starter. Without being a player with much spotlight, Mac Allister has already scored two goals and provided two assists in the 13 World Cup matches. However, his impact goes far beyond the statistics. Providing balance between defense and attack, he is one of Argentina’s most complete players, making him a regular starter under Lionel Scaloni. Analyzing the evolution of soccer, Alexis Mac Allister revealed that the sport is becoming more and more physical, making talent essential to reaching the final. In addition, he was the player who covered the most distance against England, 75.5 kilometers, as per Liam Bekker. Thanks to his physical prowess, he has started and has not been substituted in Argentina’s last four matches. Alexis Mac Allister #20 of Argentina controls the ball against Reece James #24 of England. Alexis Mac Allister may play a key role for Argentina vs. Spain Ahead of the 2026 World Cup final, all eyes will be on the attacking players. With Lamine Yamal and Lionel Messi on the pitch, both will look to create space for their teams and find the back of the net. However, the real battle should take place in midfield, as possession could determine the winner. With that in mind, Alexis Mac Allister could emerge as a key figure for Argentina against Spain. As Argentina’s most complete midfielder, head coach Lionel Scaloni could once again rely on Mac Allister to provide balance to the team. If he manages to impose his all-around talent, they could take control of possession away from Spain. To achieve that, Enzo Fernández’s presence will also be crucial. However, the 27-year-old star will be the one under pressure to once again bring stability to the team.
Adrian Sousa from Rabona TV reviews a heartbreaking semifinal collapse for England as Lionel Messi's late brilliance sends the defending champions back to the final. The dream of bringing football home has dissolved in the most agonizing way imaginable. In an incredibly tense, dramatic World Cup Semifinal in Atlanta, a familiar script played out on the global stage. On the latest edition of Rabona TV, host Adrian Sousa dissects the structural choices that led to England’s devastating late collapse. Listen to the full tactical semifinal breakdown on Spotify to hear the complete post-match analysis. For 85 minutes, England did absolutely everything right. Thomas Tuchel’s side remained organized, suffocated dangerous spaces, and kept a quiet Lionel Messi isolated from his creative partners. The tactical game plan yielded the ultimate reward early in the second half when Anthony Gordon fired the Three Lions into a deserved 1-0 lead. With a spot in the final just five minutes away, England made the fatal decision to sit back, lower their defensive block, and try to absorb pressure. When you invite the greatest playmaker of all time to orchestrate outside your penalty area, you pay the ultimate price. Having been neutralized for the majority of the afternoon, Messi turned the entire match on its head with a pair of late, devastating moments: The Equalizer (85th minute): Messi drifted centrally, dragging the English central defenders with him before releasing a perfectly weighted ball to Enzo Fernández, who smashed home the equalizer.The Winner (Stoppage time): Pulling out to the right wing, Messi whipped a pinpoint, curling cross over the defensive line that substitute Lautaro Martínez powerfully headed past Jordan Pickford to complete the stunning turnaround. The lightning-fast, six-minute comeback extends England’s agonizing 60-year wait for a World Cup final appearance. Instead, the tournament bracket moves forward with a monumental, mouth-watering matchup. The death-defying defending champions, who have successfully navigated three consecutive knockout-round scares, march on to MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. There, they will clash with a rampant Spain team on Sunday. The match sets up a historic bid to become the first nation to win back-to-back World Cups since Brazil did so in 1962.

Messi's appearance, his sharpness on the ball, and a remarkable achievement reached during the match ensured that the evening in Alabama became far more significant than a routine pre-tournament friendly. Lionel Messi gave Argentina exactly what it wanted to see ahead of the 2026 World Cup. The captain returned from a recent fitness concern, found the net shortly after coming off the bench, and helped the defending champion secure a comfortable victory over Iceland in its final warm-up match before the tournament. The result itself was encouraging, but there was an even bigger storyline unfolding beneath the surface. Messi’s appearance, his sharpness on the ball, and a remarkable achievement reached during the match ensured that the evening in Alabama became far more significant than a routine pre-tournament friendly. Argentina defeated Iceland 3-0 in Auburn, Alabama, with goals from Valentín Barco, Lionel Messi, and Thiago Almada. The world champion controlled large stretches of the match and ended its preparation schedule on a positive note. Lionel Scaloni opted to manage the workload of several key players. Messi, along with Julian Alvarez, Enzo Fernandez, and Alexis Mac Allister, started the match on the bench as Argentina continued its cautious approach ahead of the competition. Iceland threatened early when Mikael Ellertsson missed a golden opportunity to open the scoring. Argentina quickly took control afterward, and Barco broke the deadlock when a loose ball fell kindly for him on the edge of the area. Lionel Messi of Argentina looks on during the international friendly match between Argentina and Iceland The South American side remained patient throughout the first half. Iceland defended with discipline, but Argentina continued to create opportunities and gradually increased the pressure. Messi returns and changes the game The biggest roar of the night arrived when Messi stepped onto the pitch during the closing stages. After concerns surrounding muscle fatigue suffered while playing for Inter Miami, supporters were eager to see whether the captain was fully ready for another World Cup campaign. The answer arrived almost immediately. Within moments of entering the match, Messi played a superb pass that led to Lautaro Martínez being fouled inside the penalty area. The 38-year-old superstar stepped forward and calmly converted from the spot. The goal extended Argentina’s advantage and removed any lingering doubts about his readiness for the tournament. Con la primera pelota de Messi en el juego… ¡PENAL PARA ARGENTINA! ⚽❗ Lo cobra Messi, Argentina aumenta la ventaja 2-0 ante Islandia en el amistoso. pic.twitter.com/HztiSby31x— ESPN Deportes (@ESPNDeportes) June 10, 2026 His influence did not stop there. The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner later helped create Argentina’s third goal, combining with Rodrigo De Paul before Thiago Almada finished the move to complete a convincing victory. The historic record revealed While the goal helped secure the result, it also carried historic significance. Messi’s strike was his 117th goal in an Argentina shirt and his 199th international appearance. More importantly, it made him the oldest goalscorer in Argentina national team history, breaking a record that had stood for 69 years. The previous mark belonged to Angel Labruna, who scored for Argentina against Brazil in 1957 at the age of 38 years and nine months. Messi surpassed that achievement at 38 years, 11 months, and 18 days old, adding yet another milestone to an extraordinary international career. The record further highlights the longevity that has defined Messi’s career. Nearly two decades after making his senior debut, he continues to deliver decisive moments for his country on football’s biggest stages.
