According to Albiceleste goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, Lionel Messi is in a positive frame of mind as he gets ready to lead Argentina against the reigning World Cup champions France in their quest for the championship.

Messi is relishing the opportunity to play in what is very certainly his final game in football’s championship competition on Sunday in Lusail, according to the Argentina No. 23.

Martinez said, “I see a very pleased Lionel Messi.” He was playing in excellent form. He is performing very well, which gives the team a lot of energy because we have the best player.

He is happy and filled with excitement, which really aids us. With five goals and three assists from six games, Messi has been in sensational form during this tournament. Along with Kylian Mbappe of Paris Saint-Germain, who has already scored five goals for France, the Argentina captain is competing for the Golden Boot trophy.

The Albiceleste must be cautious of a number of players at the iconic Lusail stadium, according to Martinez, including Mbappe.

France is a potential opponent that we could have faced in the round of 16, and we had previously done a thorough analysis of them, Martinez added.

We’re not only referring to one player when we say that they won the most recent World Cup. They are extremely dangerous and possess their own resources. They have excellent goalkeepers, top-tier players, and great defenders, making them a great national team. Martinez paid respect to the throngs of Argentine supporters who had travelled to Qatar to cheer on their team.

As if we were playing a home game, the Aston Villa player added, “We feel our fans extremely closely in every match in every stadium.” “We sense their support both before and during the game,” the player said. This is a great benefit since it feels like we are playing in our own nation, Argentina.
