Messi's action against Peru that shows that he is more relevant than ever

Years go by and Lionel Messi never ceases to surprise, it is the routine of the extraordinary, the art of magic, the pleasure of a good game. The star born in Rosario was key this Tuesday in the match between the Argentine National Team against its counterpart from Peru. In the first half he scored two goals (truly very good) and made it clear that he is still the best in the world and that there are plenty of reasons for those who choose him as the greatest of all time.

Beyond the two goals that the Ballon d'Or winner scored this Tuesday (he is on his eighth), the truth is that they were not the only two plays in which he demonstrated all his greatness. The 36-year-old player had an action in which he made clear all his quality, his magic, his ability to elude rival footballers. With some deception, he made it clear that his magic is intact, that his left hand is immortal, that his level is inexhaustible and that it seems eternal. And, of course, he left three players on the floor.

The curious thing about Messi's great game is that he had not been a starter for a team for more than a month. The thing is that he had been suffering from a physical discomfort in his right hamstring that had left him out of the game against Bolivia in La Paz and several matches with Inter Miami (which caused him not to qualify for the MLS playoffs). Meanwhile, he had returned against Cincinnati a few days ago and then had about 40 minutes against Paraguay at the Mâs Monumental stadium.

The controversial goal that was annulled by Leo Messi against Peru

In addition to the double that Lionel Messi scored in the first half, in the second half he had the chance to extend the score and score a hat trick but the VAR and the referee denied it. The thing is that after a pass from Nicolás González, a Peruvian defender left it to the best in the world. However, they considered that it was a rebound and that is why they charged offisde.
