Lionel Messi cements his GOAT status with a little help from his friends

Takes two shots in win De Paul took two shots (one on goal) and created one chance in 102 minutes of Sunday's World Cup final win over France after penalties.

Impact De Paul drew six fouls and did the hard work of absorbing as much pressure as he could so the attack could thrive. As the enforcer and protector for Lionel Messi in the 2021 Copa America win and now a World Cup, De Paul's value isn't seen in the stat sheet lately but tends to result in great things in the right places. Following some poor showings for club side Atletico Madrid, De Paul can use his efforts in Qatar as a springboard for the rest of the season.

Impact De Paul hasn't completed the full 90 in two straight games but he's still created six chances in his last four starts.

Ready for Tuesday De Paul will be available for Tuesday's match against Croatia, according to Gaston Edul of TyC Sports.

He's created five chances in the last three games and in order to beat a well-drilled team, De Paul's play in midfield will be key to competing for a title.
