Messi Shatters Records in World Cup Opener

Messi just rewrote the World Cup record books in Argentina’s opener against Algeria, scoring a historic hat trick while becoming the first player ever to compete in six World Cups. At 38, he shattered his own record with his 200th cap for Argentina and matched Miroslav Klose’s all-time World Cup goal mark with his 16th strike. His first goal — a thunderous rocket from outside the box — tied him with Ronaldo as the only players to score in five different World Cups, and he extended his streak of scoring in five consecutive World Cup matches. This wasn’t just a performance; it was a statement that Messi, at the peak of his powers, is still chasing history — and he’s just getting started.
