World Cup: Why I will not celebrate my 1,000th game - Messi
Argentina captain, Lionel Messi, has said he will not celebrate his personal milestone of reaching 1,000 professional matches.

Messi was again on the scoresheet as Argentina beat Australia 2-1 in the last 16 of the 2022 World Cup.

The 35-year-old has admitted his overriding emotion was a relief to have passed a physical test just 48 hours after their last group stage match.

Despite reaching yet another career milestone and surpassing Diego Maradona's mark of eight World Cup goals, Messi is not recognising this personal achievement.

When asked on Argentine TV whether he was going to celebrate his 1,000th match, Messi answered: "No, truly no. This was a tough game, tough game, we didn't have much rest, we had not really recovered well. It was a very physical game as well.

"When we found out we had to play again in three days, we said it was crazy and not enough rest, but at the same time we wanted to be here for what it feels like and for what this represents and for our fans."

World Cup: I nearly died - Liverpool superstar reveals meeting with Lionel Messi
Liverpool superstar, Luiz Diaz has said that Lionel Messi and Ronaldinho are his idols, saying he is a massive fan of the Argentine football king.

Diaz said that the first time he saw the Argentine superstar, during Colombia's match against Argentina, he felt like he was going to die.

The Liverpool man said he loves the Paris Saint-Germain superstar beyond measure and was lucky to meet him again during the Coppa America two years ago.

"The day I meet him, I am really going to die! I love Messi," he told Anfield Watch.

"The first time I had contact with him was in a Colombian game in Barranquilla, but I didn't start. I was just starting out in the national team."

Diaz further recalled how he came across the former Barcelona captain in a Copa America game two years ago, where the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner signed a shirt for him.
