🚨 Out of this world! Messi breaks another World Cup record

What more is there to say about Lionel Messi? It’s all almost impossible to believe now. The Argentine superstar scored his 20th World Cup goal in the round of 32 against Cape Verde. A sensational first touch, a composed finish over the keeper’s shoulder. He makes it look so easy.

That's 20 (TWENTY!) World Cup goals for Leo Messi! 🤯
– venerdì 3 luglio 2026

Messi not only extended his World Cup scoring record, he also immediately broke the next milestone at the tournament. The 39-year-old has now scored at least one goal in eight (!) consecutive World Cup matches. No player had ever done that before at a World Cup. In the current tournament, La Pulga is already up to seven goals. Maybe the Golden Boot will be his in the end as well. In fact, Messi has never managed to win it.
