'Is there still a debate?': Gary Lineker leads the way as Lionel Messi is hailed as the GOAT after a stunning display to send Argentina through to the World Cup final... while Jamie Carragher calls him 'the best there has ever been!'
  • last year
Lionel Messi put in yet another stunning performance as Argentina beat Croatia to reach the World Cup final - and a number of football's biggest stars believe the 'GOAT' debate is now over. The 35-year-old claimed a goal and two assists - setting up Julian Alvarez twice, the second coming after a mesmerising run from the halfway line - as Argentina ran out comfortable 3-0 winners on Tuesday night. Messi and Argentina booked a spot in Sunday's World Cup final with the win, with either France or Morocco - who play tomorrow night - to join them.
