'You don’t get tired of showing that you are the best in the world,' says Luis Suarez as he hails Lionel Messi ARG
Luis Suarez has sent his congratulations to former Barcelona teammate Lionel Messi after the Argentina star’s World Cup semi-final masterclass.
Messi scored once from the penalty spot and provided a wonderful assist for Julian Alvarez’s second goal of the night in a 3-0 win over Croatia, booking Argentina’s place in the World Cup final where they will meet either France or Morocco.His assist was what really stole the show as he ran from near the halfway line into the penalty box, giving Josko Gvardiol – arguably the best young defender in the world – a torrid time, before setting up Manchester City’s Alvarez for a tap-in.
After the game, world football’s biggest names heaped praise on Messi, who is one win away from claiming the only prize that has eluded him in his historic career and the one he wants most, the World Cup. His old friend Suarez, who he shared the stage with at Barcelona and developed a close relationship with on and off the pitch, was amongst the first to congratulate the Argentine superstar.“You don’t get tired of showing that you are the best in the world,” the Uruguay striker said on Instagram after the game.
