Another match for Argentina. Once again, the limelight is on Lionel Messi. He broke numerous records with a brace against Austria last night in Dallas. From his neighborhood to social media, he is being praised everywhere. Zlatan Ibrahimovic has showered praise on Messi, who is setting records one after another despite his age.

Messi was present throughout the Argentina-Austria match last night in Dallas. Not only the Argentine fans, but also the football fans of the opponent Austria, saw 'Messi-mania' in the gallery. With a pair of goals, he has scored 5 goals in this World Cup in just two matches. Which many people cannot do in their entire World Cup career. One of these many is Ibrahimovic. After the Argentina-Austria match, Ibrahimovic told Fox Sports, 'He has scored 5 goals in two matches. And even though I have played two World Cups, my goal tally is zero. I am very happy for him.'
