🔝 The stars turned up: all shone on matchday two of the World Cup | OneFootball

It’s nothing new that the biggest stars in world football come together at the World Cup. What is new, however, is all of them delivering elite-level performances on the same matchday.

Messi bagged a brace against Austria, and it could have been a hat-trick if he had scored that penalty. Still, Leo shone and has already sent Argentina through to the Round of 32.

Hours later, Mbappé was right on his heels, also bagging a brace. Not only did he move to within one goal on the scoring chart, but he also matched Klose’s historic mark.

And speaking of braces, we have to mention Erling Haaland, who arrived in the best possible way. He struck another brace against Senegal and already has 4 goals in his first World Cup.

And finally, after the criticism following his debut, Cristiano Ronaldo showed that at 41 years old he still belongs among the greats, also with a brace against Uzbekistan.

And you... who is your favorite MVP?
