The Inter Miami star recently recalled Argentina’s match against Mexico at the 2022 World Cup - a game the Albiceleste won 2-0, with Messi scoring one of the goals.

Adrian Zavaleta, 30, said that he thought Mexico would emerge victorious, pointing to how Argentina had lost its first World Cup game against Saudi Arabia. “My idol is Messi,” he said.

Mexico and Argentina have met four times on the World Cup stage - in 1930, 2006, 2010, and 2022 - and all four matches ended in victories for La Albiceleste.

Argentina recovered from its opening loss to Saudi Arabia and secured passage to the knockout stage. Poland also advanced, despite losing, because it had a better goal differential than Mexico.

Argentina had no choice but to return to Lusail, to face Mexico, and to manifest a different denouement. Defeat would end its involvement in the World Cup after just two games.

Argentina has won all three World Cup meetings with Mexico (1930, 2006, 2010), including two Round of 16 meetings -- a 3-1 victory in 2010 in South Africa and a 2-1 win in extra time in Germany.
