Lionel Messi confirmed this would be his last World Cup appearance.
"I feel very happy, to be able to achieve this, to finish my World Cup journey by playing my last game in a final. It's many years for the next one and I don't think I'll be able to do it. And to finish like this, it's the best." Lionel Messi, to Argentine media outlet Diario Deportivo Ole
This is the 35-year-old's fifth World Cup appearance, one more than Diego Maradona and Javier Mascherano.
Reuters reports that Messi has also become the top Albiceleste scorer at the international soccer tournament with 11 goals.
"It's all well and good (the records), but the important thing is to be able to achieve the group objective, which is the most beautiful thing of all." Lionel Messi, to Argentine media outlet Diario Deportivo Ole
