When everyone thought Lionel Messi had peaked after finally winning the trophy at the last FIFA World Cup, he proved everyone wrong by showing that he has still got the skills, if not the speed, and that there's even more he can do. The tournament hasn't ended yet, but he has already become the highest goalscorer of all time in the history of the FIFA World Cup. He's in serious contention for the Golden Boot. Argentina are the current FIFA World Cup winners, and if Messi manages to lead Argentina to a consecutive win, he will make his already iconic legacy even stronger.
Mo Salah of Egypt, on the other hand, has been great in his own right too, but mostly at the club level in the English Premiership. Technically, Egypt hasn't lost a single match at this year's World Cup, and that has been under his captaincy. He has also led Egypt to their first-ever knockout stage. Could he actually lead his team to defeat the mighty Argentina? Considering Egypt's performance at the World Cup so far, it's definitely not impossible. After all, it took a few moments of magic from a certain Erling Haaland to beat the mighty Brazil team. Fans would be expecting the same from Mo Salah.
