Lionel Messi pulled off another neat trick last night when he scored Argentina’s winning goal against Uruguay despite having retired from international football some weeks ago now.
Indeed, despite not actually being on the pitch, Messi settled the 2018 World Cup qualifier in the 43rd minute with a piece of excellent back-heeled control and a massively deflected finish…
Still scoring important goals two months into retirement? That’s got to be the mark of a true great.
