Messi has scored in both of his first two games in Qatar as they suffered a surprise 2-1 loss to Saudi Arabia before sealing a 2-0 win over Mexico.
Now it only depends on the duel with Poland to determine who advances to the round of 16 of the major tournament.
Argentina could be eliminated if they don’t beat Poland, which would be a real shock given Messi and co. were named as one of the pre-tournament favorites.
They are expected to win the match and advance to the Round of 16 with their star-studded line-up.
