However, Argentina turned the match around in dramatic fashion during the closing minutes. Messi provided the spark, setting up Enzo Fernandez for the equalizer in the 85th minute to reignite his side's hopes.
With extra time approaching, the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner delivered another decisive cross in stoppage time, finding substitute Lautaro Martinez, who headed home the winning goal in the 92nd minute to complete a memorable comeback.
The victory adds another unforgettable chapter to the historic rivalry between Argentina and England, with the South American giants once again prevailing on football's biggest stage.
Argentina will now face Spain in the World Cup final as they seek to successfully defend their world title, while England's long wait for another appearance in the tournament's showpiece match continues.
Why it matters: Argentina's dramatic comeback keeps their World Cup title defence alive and sets up a blockbuster final against Spain, with Lionel Messi once again proving decisive on football's biggest stage.
