Gabriel Batistuta congratulated Messi on the ten goals he scored at the World Cup, tying the record he alone held until yesterday. The 53-year-old goalkeeper wanted Leo to surpass him in the next game.
Lionel Messi scored a penalty against the Netherlands and scored ten goals at the World Cup. Leo caught Batistuta at the top of Argentina’s top-scoring footballers in the competition and hours later the 53-year-old legendary goalscorer congratulated him on his achievement.
In fact, Batistuta wished that Messi would overtake him in the next game against Croatia in the semifinals, which could also bring Albiceleste qualification.
“Dear Leo, congratulations! I had this record for 20 years and enjoyed it. Now it is a great honor and pleasure to share it with you and I hope with all my heart that you can overcome it in the next gameGabriel Batistuta wrote in the post.
