清·百一居士《壶天录》：“女更黯然神伤，泫然流涕。”在子夜过后的凌晨，对于喜欢梅西的球迷来说，无疑也是这样的心情。
Croatia beat Argentina here at the Nizhny Novgorod Stadium 3-0 on Thursday evening, a victory that lifted them to the knockout stage, whereas the Albiceleste are on the brink of being eliminated.
俄罗斯当地时间周四晚，克罗地亚在下诺夫哥罗德体育场3：0击败阿根廷，本场胜利顺利将他们送入淘汰赛环节，而阿根廷则在被淘汰边缘挣扎。
Life is full of ups and downs.
人生真是充满跌宕起伏。
Argentina goalkeeper Willy Caballero gifted Croatia a goal that left his teammates "emotionally broken".
阿根廷门将卡巴列罗送给克罗地亚一球，而正是这一球让队友“情绪崩溃”了。
When it was over, as the Croatian players fell to the floor in equal parts exhaustion and elation, Messi paused for a few seconds, a blank stare on his face. Then he turned and stalked away down the tunnel, and out of sight for good.
当比赛结束时，当克罗地亚选手激动欢呼，梅西停了几秒钟，他的脸上一片空白，随后他转过身，头也不回地走向球员通道。
阿根廷小组赛之后就要被淘汰出局，对于阿根廷来说，对于梅西来说，无疑是令人痛苦的场面。要知道，这也极有可能是梅西最后一届世界杯了。
荣誉等身的梅西获得了太多的奖杯和个人荣誉，唯独欠缺的就是一座世界杯，但好像大力神杯就是不愿意眷顾他。
梅西没有马拉多纳一样的幸运。后者拥有上帝之手，还有风之子的鼎力支持。但梅球王仅靠一己之力，无力回天。
In the end, that image of Lionel Messi furrowing his brow and rubbing his forehead intently during the national anthem may prove to be the defining one of Argentina’s great World Cup collapse.
最后，梅西在国歌期间皱起眉头和揉额头的画面可能是阿根廷失败的证明。
阿根廷主帅桑保利21日晚在赛后说，他已经尽力做到最好，但还是没能找到一种方法，能够让全队和梅西完美融合，能够满足阿根廷球迷的期望，他为此承担责任，并请求球迷们谅解。
“If I’d planned things differently, it would have worked out differently ... I honestly thought the plan for this match was going to put pressure on the opponent. But after the disaster of the first goal, it was tough, we were lost emotionally.”
“如果我布置不同的战术，可能结果也会不同……我确实认为本场比赛的战术计划会把压力转移到对手身上。但是在丢了灾难性的第一个球后，情况就很难了，我们在情绪上就输了。”
