Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has proclaimed Lionel Messi as the greatest of all time, ‘GOAT’ after his display for Argentina in the semi-finals of the FIFA 2022 World Cup in Qatar on Tuesday, IgbereTV reports
Messi was unplayable for La Albiceleste, helping reach the final on Sunday where they will face either France or Morocco.
