DOHA, Qatar — An inspired Lionel Messi scored from the penalty spot and Julian Alvarez struck twice as Argentina beat Croatia 3-0 on Tuesday to reach their second World Cup final in eight years.
“It’s crazy, we did it, we did it, we’re going to play one more final, once again Argentina is in a World Cup final,” said Messi, after celebrating in front of the massed ranks of South American supporters who have travelled to Qatar. It was not until the 25th minute when the game showed signs of life with a low pot shot from outside the box by Enzo Fernandez but Croatia keeper Dominik Livakovic did well to get across and keep it out.
Five minutes later, Argentina doubled their lead when, after a break from a corner, Messi’s first-time ball found Alvarez inside his own half who set off on a long dribble goalwards.
