Lionel Messi reveals why he cried after the match

Lionel Messi, after Argentina's dramatic victory over Egypt in the round of 16 of the World Cup, admitted he was overwhelmed by emotions following the match. Argentina trailed 0:2 late in regulation time but staged an incredible comeback to win without extra time. Messi scored the equalizer, but he expressed frustration over missing a penalty kick in the first half, which he said would have changed the course of the game. Despite the missed opportunity, Argentina continued to play well and eventually secured the win. Messi praised his team's resilience and highlighted the significance of Christian Romero's goal, which sparked the turnaround. Argentina will now face Switzerland in the quarterfinals, having previously drawn with Slovenia in October last year.
