Lionel Messi returns to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar for a fifth attempt to help his country of Argentina to compete and he is also hoping to make history with Argentina because this is his last appearance.
The Argentinians are among the favorites to win in Qatar and victory would fill the one gaping hole in his resume. But a win or a draw Tuesday against Saudi Arabia, one of the weakest teams in the tournament,
