🎥 Tevez and Aguero stunned, fan: I love Messi more than my wife 😂 | OneFootball

The world at Leo Messi’s feet. The hat-trick, yet another in his career, on his debut against Algeria left the football world speechless, which by now has run out of adjectives to describe the exploits of the phenomenon from Rosario.

The three goals on his debut took Messi to 16 goals in total across his six World Cups, the same as Miroslav Klose. No one has more than them. And Leo will have at least two more matches (though in all likelihood there will be more) to add to these numbers and claim sole possession of the top spot.

Messi’s feat, as we were saying, sent the football world into a frenzy. From Haaland to Tevez and Aguero, there was no shortage of public praise for the Diez of the albiceleste.

🐐 Everyone’s crazy about Leo... Even Haaland!

After scoring twice on his debut for Norway, Erling Haaland also enjoyed Messi’s performance, making sure to show his appreciation on Instagram.

"Messi is crazy," with a crown next to it. A simple message, just a few words, but full of meaning.

Even better were the reactions from Tevez and Aguero, who were in Kansas City covering the match for an Argentine TV channel. The two seemed stunned by yet another goal from the Pulga.

Look at Tevez’s face, turning around immediately as if searching for confirmation that what he’s witnessing is actually real. And Aguero? Kun urges his former national teammate to have the whole stadium join in a collective bow to the Argentine legend.

😂 "I love Messi more than my wife"

The Argentine people are in total ecstasy. From those swearing eternal love, preferring the almost 39-year-old to their own wife, to those who turned the stands of Arrowhead Stadium into a cauldron, the reactions to Leo’s performance are already iconic.

Long live the king, people used to say. Well, after tonight, the king seems hungrier than ever.
