See what the ´óÏó´«Ã½ pundits had to say about Lionel Messi tonight.
Spoiler: It's very positive.

It does remind me a bit of 1986 and the side with Maradona. Hard to play against, tough and enduring tough games and seeing their way through.
They were difficult to beat and relied on the magic of Maradona. There are so many similarities.
Maradona was at his peak, Messi is obviously coming to the end of his career. But can they do it?
FT: Argentina 2-1 Australia
Argentina legend Lionel Messi: "These are amazing feelings, I am really happy to share their beautiful moment with the fans. I know how much effort they have put into coming here and I know the whole of Argentina want to be here. The bonds, the union we have is something beautiful.
"It is unbelievable, the fans' passion, energy and joy. It is unbelievable.
"From the start to the end I am thinking about my children, as they are growing and understand better and enjoy it more.
"They are living it from inside and I see how they suffer and enjoy it. That is spectacular. They are excited as all Argentinians are."

Netherlands had a good win today against the USA. They have a good team, nothing special but the same for Argentina. It's going to be another tough game for sure. Quarter-final, another big game for both teams.
Both Netherlands wing backs were really good today.

Messi producing those moments of magic and you can see the fans just loving it. The fans just behind the goal are still there, just singing and bouncing.

It was a phenomenal goal from Messi. He takes a step to give himself some time to get the shot off and it's a fantastic finish.

It's so much easier having him as number 10.

The way Messi works that space. The way he carries the ball when there is much going on around him.
He's got everything. Whenever he gets the ball the whole stadium gets on its feet. It doesn't matter where he is on the pitch, the whole stadium rises.

Image source, Getty ImagesThis game has proven Messi does not need to win the World Cup to be considered the GOAT. Time after time he set his teammates up and they couldn't finish it. Shades of 2014 and Higuain.

We are still relying on Messi too much. The first half was not good enough and we needed to play a lot quicker. When Messi is on the ball, he is the only one who brings so much danger and a real threat going forward.

So pleased and so happy for the boys. Messi and everyone. Scaloni as well, well played tonight. Having this number 10 in the team makes everything easier for everyone.

We're so lucky to be in this stadium to watch him. What a performance from him, we've talked about his ability, the hunger and desire. The ability to run with the ball which attracts so many players and frees up his team-mates.

I think Messi knows that this is his last World Cup and you can really see that he is enjoying it.

Nick: The way Argentina have been they should lose to Netherlands. But who knows. They seem to get a lot of decisions go their way and manage to scrape through. Not a fan.
Think they are average at best. Would like to see them against Japan or South Korea. Think they’d get battered.

He does things I've not seen any other player except probably Maradona do.
And to have two of those players, both left footed and both from the same country, both small.
Different eras, enjoy them both.

The game got better and better as it went on. We saw some of the brilliant glimpses of Messi being his magical self. He was the difference, more than anyone else.
Otamendi was magnificent again. You've got to be proud if you're Australian tonight.
They fought and they battled and they frightened the life out of Argentina near the end, particularly in the last 20 seconds but they just couldn't do enough.
