Moving! Messi shed tears after scoring a stunning long-range goal; he explained afterwards: "I've been through a difficult and complex period."

In a key match of the first round of Group J at the World Cup's Group J, concluded on June 17 Beijing time, the defending champions Argentina secured a 3-0 victory over the strong win over Algeria, a strong North African team. In this match, Argentine captain Messi once again displayed his "Football King" prowess, performing his first career World Cup hat-trick.

Notably, after breaking the deadlock with a spectacular long-range shot in the first half, Messi briefly lost his composure and shed tears, wiping his eyes with his jersey—a highly touching scene.

After the match, Messi explained why he cried: "Honestly, it has nothing to do with the sport. I've been through a tough, complicated days, but I thank the entire delegation and all my teammates for being by my side as always, giving me tremendous strength to stay in good shape, nothing more."

Messi also emotionally added emotionally: "What I'm experiencing now is all extra. I'm very happy and I'm very happy and grateful for this wonderful team; I'm truly enjoying this. The first few matches of the World Cup are always tough, and we've seen that no one gives in easily."

"This is a highly competitive World Cup, where all teams are very well-prepared. I love playing football; it's a passion I've had since childhood. When I'm in good form, I give my all."

Regardless, we hope Messi can fully shake off that dark period. In this World Cup, may he perform at his best to complete his "last dance."
