The SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, USA was not just booked up and filled to the brim, it was an overflow crowd, heavily pro-Argentina.
It was the 2 G.O.A.T's last run at the FIFA World Cup.
Messi and Ronaldo had competed at this epic stage of football for 6 times. Messi had touched heaven, Ronaldo was yet to do the same, but their fans still trooped to the World Cup in droves to watch them play the last time.
In the group stage, it was a bit mild, but since it was the knockouts now, Messi fans came out in droves to support their G.O.AT.
It was perfect weather conditions in Los Angeles, mild and cool indoors.
Lionel Messi returned to the starting XI, and Argentina meant business.
