'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!'

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.
