🇦🇷🐂 Lautaro Martínez has now scored 32 goals with Argentina, same as Diego Armando Maradona. He’s in the top 5 of the all time goalscorers. Assist delivered once again by Leo Messi. ✨

Messi carry his teams on his shoulder but teams carry Cristiano on their head. If Cristiano carry Portugal like Messi carry Argentina Cristiano would have retired long ago because of the weight and the sacrifices required. Cristiano is just committed to creating his own personal record and it's the main reason Portugal never gotten to semi at world cup with Cristiano as the captain. If Messi play for Portugal they would have won 2 world cup already, 3 nations league and 3 Euro and Messi would have had the highest goals now but if Cristiano played for Argentina he would have been forced to retire by now or be on the bench. Cristiano can't get those cheap goals playing in south America tournament, go and check Cristiano goals record against south American teams and check Messi goals records against Europeans teams. At 2018 world cup, it was south American team that knocked Cristiano out of the world cup!
