La Albiceleste dominated the match at the Lusail Stadium from start to finish, taking revenge for the defeat four years ago in Russia against the current runner-up in the world, and earning their ticket to their sixth World Cup final, where they will seek their third title.
Lionel Messi has tied former West Germany captain Lothar Matthäus for the most appearances in World Cup matches. He has played in 25 games, according to FIFA.

Messi signs a night of records
The Argentine striker Leo Messi will have a new opportunity this coming Sunday to add to his enormous list of winners the only great title he is missing, the one of the Soccer World Cup, after the pass this Tuesday to the final of the Qatar event where he had a leading role.
At 35, the man from Rosario will surely have one, last chance to win his big dream and that of his country. After winning the Copa América last year, the first trophy with his team, he now hopes to end a 36-year wait for the Albiceleste and take revenge from eight years ago when they reached the final, but lost it in extra time against Germany (1 -0).
against Croatia, the ’10’ also achieved several records that can now be increased, unless an injury separates him from the final. If there is no surprise, Messi will play his twenty-sixth game in a World Cup, the fifth he has played, beating the German Lotthar Matthaus, whom he equalized against the Croats.
Also, his penalty goal to open the scoring allowed him to tie with Gabriel Batistuta as the top Argentine scorer in World Cups, already with eleven goals, while his assist for Julián Álvarez in the 3-0 draw was the eighth in a World Cup event, the same as Diego Armando Maradona achieved.
