· Yahoo Sports
Argentina is ready for the World Cup. Overnight, in fact, the reigning world champions won their final friendly before the start of the tournament. A comfortable 3-0 win over Iceland, with the main star — needless to say — being Leo Messi.

La Pulce put on a show, despite Scaloni only bringing him on in the 70th minute. From the 1st minute, Nico Paz started in his place.
Messi took almost no time at all to make his mark on the match, not even 60 seconds: a stunning through ball from Leo for Lautaro, who missed in front of the goalkeeper. The referee, however, awarded a highly questionable penalty that Messi then converted.
A brilliant piece of play that effectively sealed the game. But the show continued even after the final whistle, with scenes that quickly went viral.
🥲 The hug with Gudjohnsen's son
During the final exchanges between the players, Iceland striker Daniel Gudjohnsen, 20, approached Messi and revealed a special detail to him.
He is in fact the son of Eidur Gudjohnsen, the former striker who played alongside the Argentine champion at Barcelona between 2006 and 2009, also winning a Champions League.
When he realized the situation, Messi could not hide his surprise! He smiled broadly and stopped to chat for a few moments with the young talent, who currently plays for Malmö.
🔙 The return of the Diez
As mentioned, Messi only played for about 20 minutes. The Inter Miami star was in fact recovering from muscle discomfort in his left thigh and had only done light training the previous day.
In any case, there is no concern, because Leo will be at the World Cup and fully fit. It will be the last time we see him on the grandest stage of all.
