Argentina take on Croatia in an intriguing semi-final clash at the Lusail Iconic Stadium, as Lionel Messi seeks to win his first World Cup.

Argentina v Croatia head-to-head
There have only been four previous meetings between the two nations, with two victories for each country.
Two of those matches have come at the World Cup and nothing separates them there either, as Croatia recorded a stunning 3-0 victory in the 2018 group stage. That result served as revenge following a 1-0 win for Argentina in the 1998 group stage.
The other two matches were international friendlies.
‘Argentina is not only Messi’ – Petkovic

Bruno Petkovic believes it will be a mistake for Croatia to solely focus on Messi heading into Tuesday night’s match.
He said: We don’t have a specific plan, at least not yet for stopping Lionel Messi. Usually we don’t concentrate on just stopping one player, but the whole team.
“The way we approach that is we need to stop them as a team. Not by man marking or some kind of similar tactics.
“Argentina is not only Messi. They have a number of great players, so we have to stop the whole team.”
