In tears after his first goal, the Argentine star revealed at the end of the game that he had been experiencing personal difficulties, without going into details. "The truth is, it's something completely unrelated to sport. I've had some difficult and complicated days, but I'm grateful to the entire delegation, to all my teammates because they've always been there for me, as always, giving me a lot of strength to get through this, and that's all," the striker said, as reported by the Daily Mail.
When questioned again about this dark period in his life, the Argentinian preferred to highlight the positive things he has experienced. "As I said, everything I'm experiencing now is incredible. I've been fortunate enough to realize all my dreams, at a level, or even higher, than I could have achieved individually and as a team. Today, I'm enjoying that, being part of a wonderful group, feeling good, and thankfully, being able to enjoy it on the pitch the way I've always loved to ," Messi stated.
Against Algeria, the 2022 World Cup winner played his 200th match for Argentina. With his hat-trick, he became the joint top scorer in World Cup history, tied with Germany's Miroslav Klose, with 16 goals.
