🐐 A mad night of records: Messi claimed these World Cup marks! What Lionel Messi did against Algeria last night truly defies all superlatives... In Argentina’s 3-0 win, the 38-year-old (!) scored his 14th, 15th, and 16th World Cup goals, drawing level with all-time record holder Miroslav Klose. Messi is likely to claim the record outright before this tournament is over. But that was far from all: against Algeria, the eight-time World Player of the Year became the oldest player in World Cup history to score at least two goals in a match. That honor had previously belonged to Cameroon’s Roger Milla. And of course, the left-footer also took the record for the oldest player ever to score a hat-trick. On top of that, Messi scored his fifth World Cup goal from outside the box, drawing level with Brazilian superstar Rivellino. By the way, Messi scored his first World Cup goal 20 years ago in Germany. What this guy is producing is just beyond normal. All we can do is look forward to everything else that’s still to come in the next few weeks. This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
