Lionel Messi had Di Lorenzo on toast with brilliant assist for Martinez in Finalissima triumph

Lionel Messi was at his brilliant best as Argentina were crowned Finalissima winners on Wednesday evening.

Messi was underwhelming in his first campaign at Paris Saint-Germain.

But he was in the mood in his side’s 2-0 victory over Italy at Wembley Stadium.

Messi put the ball on a plate for Lautero Martinez to open the scoring after 28 minutes.

The 34-year-old picked up the ball roughly 25 yards out and was being closely marked by Giovanni Di Lorenzo.

But Messi went past his opponent with a superb turn before driving towards goal.

Messi then showed great balance and strength to hold off the Italy full-back, before putting the ball on a plate for Martinez. Watch it below…

Magic from Lionel Messi as he puts it on a plate for Lautaro Martínez to score!
