As he was challenged the ball rebounded back to him from Josip Juranovic and then from an off-balance Borna Sosa and Alvarez just kept going and going and poked it home. Alvarez side-footed past Livakovic and it was game over. He had already been feeling the back of his leg and was moving less easily. As he held off Gvardiol, Messi was able to get his shot away with Livakovic parrying. Despite Luka Modric’s claim to be the best midfielder of his generation it felt like the narrative was set to be Messi’s and so it proved. If there had been metal bars around the pitch it could not have been more cagey and it felt like it would take something surprising to break the deadlock. Messi will need Alvarez with the Manchester City striker not only scoring twice, and earning the penalty, but doing all of his running for him. And running and running. It was pure genius from the genius. Quite why Messi ended up playing the whole game when he could barely run was surprising. This tournament, so rich in its football, its drama, its upsets, and so controversial in so many other ways, has the final act it so craved. In his fifth attempt it really is his final chance.
