They said he was old, he shone at the World Cup and now Klopp wants to sign him

Argentina will play in another World Cup final after thrashing Croatia 3-0 at the Lusail Stadium in the semi-finals of Qatar 2022, with Leo Messi in fine form to orchestrate the victory. The illusion of the South American fans is rekindled after eight years of waiting following the title lost in Brazil 2014.

The first half had two sides to it: Croatia dominated the ball, without giving it to the Argentinians for a single minute. And Argentina being accurate in front of Dominik Livakovic's goal. In the first half hour of the match it looked as if the Balkan side were suffocating the South Americans in their own half, but an oversight cost them the chance to go behind and lose order in the match.

In the 34th minute, Julián Álvarez beat the defenders, received a deep pass and faced the goalkeeper, who ended up running over the Manchester City striker and the penalty was awarded. Leo Messi opened the scoring from the spot, firing past Livakovic for his 11th World Cup goal, surpassing Gabriel Batistuta's record.

In high spirits, Argentina extended the lead in the 39th minute. Again, with a counter-attack led by Messi, who was brought down in midfield, but Julián Álvarez picked up the ball and advanced into the box, taking a couple of rebounds after frustrated clearances from the defence, having the ball in hand and only having to push it in. For the second half, the tone of the game was the same, with the Balkan side pushing forward to level the scores and the South Americans waiting in their own half to be dangerous with counter-attacks to finish the game off. Messi cut inside and laid the ball off to Alvarez, who only had to push the ball past Livakovic to put the game to bed.

Klopp wants to sign Son Heung Min

With this example that older players can still perform, Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp is interested in signing a veteran like Lionel Messi. He is the Korean Son Heung Min, who is 30 years old and who excelled for his country at the World Cup. For now he has a contract with Tottenham, but he is a player of the German coach.
