Lionel Messi led Argentina to the quarter-finals of the World Cup. Despite the problems, the Gauchos managed to defeat Australia with a score of 2:1 in the round of 16, and after the match, the Australians went in search of the biggest star of Argentine football.
Lionel Messi scored the leading goal for the Argentine national team in the 2:1 victory over Australia, and after the match there were interesting scenes in the tunnel of the stadium.
Immediately after the end of the match, the Australian footballers went in search of Lionel Messi. A few of them wandered inside the tunnel to take pictures with the Argentine.
In the end, they managed to reach him. Joel King and Marco Tilio were the ones who got the memory of a lifetime, and Leo showed that he is a true gentleman by not turning them down for a photo.
Joel King is a 22-year-old left back from Odense, Denmark. He played a total of four matches for the national team.
