In the World Cup semi-final, Lionel Messi provided two assists as Argentina came from behind to defeat England 2-1. England defender Kyle Walker praised Messi in an interview with The Sun.
"In the first half, he was quiet. Elliott Anderson did a good job marking and containing him, but he's a genius. As a player, I really can't find the right words to describe his performance.

"Sometimes he looks like he doesn't even want the ball, but in an instant, he appears and delivers two key passes. That's Messi's genius. So in my opinion, he's the greatest footballer in history."
