Lionel Scaloni, quoted by Mundo Deportivo
Our 'ten' decided the outcome of the game. The whole team stands behind Messi, everyone supports him. We know we have the best player in the world. I think even the Mexican fans enjoyed his game despite the fact that he scored for them.

The goal against the Mexicans was Messi's eighth at the World Cup tournaments. This score is equal to the 1986 World Champion Argentina's Diego Maradona's. Only Gabriel Batistuta scored more than any Argentinian player at the World Cup - 10 goals.
