Messi Broke 5 Records in One Night... at 38

from The Football Show · host Break FC & BIZBROS

Messi is 38 years old... and he just rewrote the record book. In this episode we break down the night Lionel Messi scored his first ever World Cup hat-trick, tied Miroslav Klose's all-time record with 16 goals, passed Pelé, and did it 20 years to the day after his very first World Cup goal. Then we get into the argument that never dies... Messi versus Ronaldo. Sixteen goals to eight, and only one of them has the trophy. But the future showed up too. Haaland scored twice on his World Cup debut for Norway, and Mbappe broke France's all-time record at just 27. Past, present, and future, all in one day. We close with a full stat read so you can decide the GOAT yourself.
