Lionel Messi is enjoying Argentina’s World Cup so far after the Barcelona forward scored twice against Nigeria.
Argentina won the match 3-2 to qualify from Group F in top spot, with the Africans also progressing after Bosnia-Herzegovina beat Iran.
“It’s beautiful what we are experiencing,” AS reports Messi as saying after the match.
“We could give the fans another joy. We continue in pursuit of the dream we all want.
“We found space and had more chances to score. It was a good thing we played against a team who came forward and had good players.
“It was a good Argentina that we saw, but I want more.
“The forwards couldn’t find in previous matches but we corrected that against Nigeria and that helped us create more chances. But now we have to work on the defence to keep a clean sheet.
“It’s been an unusual World Cup, with results no one expected, but we go on our way.”
