Secret to stopping Messi revealed by the only man to beat Argentina at WC 2022
SAUDI ARABIA boss Herve Renard reckons he knows how to stop Lionel Messi.
Renard’s men are the only team beat the South American champions at the World Cup after their stunning 2-1 victory last month.
Messi scored the opener in that game, but two quickfire goals from the Saudis saw them produce one of the biggest tournament shocks ever.
Perhaps more impressively, they managed to keep the PSG star quiet with his early penalty his only real contribution of note.
But since that defeat, Messi has been playing football from another planet and heads into Sunday’s final against France in scintillating form.
In total, the 35-year-old has scored five goals and laid on three assists in his five outings in Qatar.
