Former Argentina goalkeeper, Jorge D’Alessandro, believes captain Lionel Messi would not have won the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar if it was not for Enzo Fernandez, Alexis Mac Allister and Julian Alvarez.
According to D’Alessandro, Messi would have been crying on the streets if not for Fernandez, Mac Allister and Alvarez, who played a key role in Argentina’s final win against France.
Messi led Argentina to win the FIFA World Cup in Qatar last December.
The Paris Saint-Germain forward scored two goals in the final against France as La Albiceleste defeated the reigning champions on penalties to lift the trophy.
“Nobody hit the key. Everyone points to Leo Messi as the great standard, the factotum, and they forget why the victory took place. This is the same Messi from 2014 and the previous World Cups,” D’Alessandro told Infobae.
“No. Impossible. He [Messi] would have been crying on the streets now. I signed it. The key was these guys [Fernandez and Mac Allister] and Julian [Alvarez].”
