Messi’s quest to win the one major title to elude him got off to a shocking start and brought back memories of Cameroon’s 1-0 win over an Argentina team led by Diego🐎 Maradona in the opening game of the 1990 World Cupꩲ.

Goals b🍎y Saleh Alshehri and Salem Aldawsari in a five-minute span in the second half gave the Saudis their greatest win. Messi rolled in 🔴a penalty to give Argentina a 10th-minute lead. 

This also rivals shocking results such as Sene💜gal beating then-titleholder France 1-0 in the 2002 tournament opener and the United States stunning England by🎃 the same score in 1950.
