ONE YEAR SINCE ARGENTINA REACHED WORLD CUP FINAL AS LEO CLAIMED SEVERAL RECORDS
Por David
Today, 13 December, marks the first anniversary of Argentina's 3-0 win over Croatia in the World Cup semi-final, a match in which Leo registered a goal and an assist. His strike in the last-four contest saw Leo become Argentina's leading goalscorer in World Cup history, surpassing Gabriel Batistuta's haul with his 11th goal at the finals. Meanwhile, the assist he provided drew him level with Diego Maradona and Pelé in terms of World Cup assists (eight). The semi-final showdown also witnessed the Argentine ace move alongside Lothar Matthäus at the top of the World Cup appearance charts (25).
