I think Messi needs just one goal to pass the legend Batistuta who is the top goal scorer for Argentina and I think Messi will score against the Netherlands as they are not well known for having a solid defense,that was always their Achilles's heel where they suffered a lot from the not so good defending.Argentina is well known for scoring goals and most probably will score against Netherlands with Messi having a really high chance of becoming the best goal scorer as I think Mbappe will have difficulties to score that easily against England but we will see.

In Messi's several matches with Argentina in this world cup, he had many opportunities that could not be converted into goals. one of them, when he had a chance at the penalty spot against Poland. he failed, at least, Messi has 2-4 shots on target every game. Messi could have been the top scorer, if every opportunity he had could be converted properly. even so, I can understand that at the age of 35 years, the sharpness and accuracy are decreasing.

by the way, don't underestimate the Netherlands. because after all, so far the Netherlands has appeared very nicely. they have quite solid teamwork, a front line whose sharpness should not be underestimated.
Too bad the Netherlands had to meet Argentina. both teams, this is my farovit. Messi still has the opportunity to add to his coffers on condition that he must score against the Netherlands. unfortunately, Argentina will meet Brazil if these two teams both qualify for the quarter-finals.

For Mbappe, I agree with you.
