Lionel Messi scored a stunning hat-trick to lead defending champions Argentina to a dominant victory over Algeria in the World Cup group stage. With 16 World Cup goals, Messi tied the all-time record held by Germany’s Miroslav Klose.

Event Details

Messi displayed extraordinary form with three different types of goals: a precise free kick, a clever finish inside the box, and a signature curling effort from distance. Algeria’s defense had no answer for his individual brilliance.

Messi tying the World Cup scoring record carries profound historical significance. From his debut in 2006 to 2026, his career spans two decades of international football. At 38, this is likely his final World Cup, making every goal even more precious.
