Former Argentina goalkeeper Jorge D’Alessandro asserts that if not for Enzo Fernandez, Alexis Mac Allister, and Julian Alvarez, captain Lionel Messi would not have won the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
D’Alessandro claims that if it weren’t for Fernandez, Mac Allister, and Alvarez, who were crucial to Argentina’s victory against France in the championship game, Messi would have been sobbing in the streets.
Argentina won the FIFA World Cup in Qatar last December under Messi’s leadership.
The Paris Saint-Germain forward scored twice as La Albiceleste beat the defending champions on penalties in the championship match against France.
“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].”
