This is something that will come as music to the Argentine fans ears as Lionel Messi is bang in form heading into the world in three months time.
The 35 year old scored his first bicycle kick and put in a man of the match performance as he was applauded from the pity on Saturday evening by the Clermont fans as the Paris club won five goals to nil in their first league game of the season.

This will be Messi’s last World Cup, wouldn’t it be great to see the best player to ever play the game to finally lift the World Cup trophy and match his hero Diego Maradona. It’s going to be a massive ask in Qatar this December.
