Lionel Messi scripted history on Wednesday (IST) with a stunning hat-trick for Argentina in their FIFA World Cup 2026 Group J opener against Algeria. The 38-year-old was in sensational form at the Kansas City Stadium, leaving the Algerian defence completely helpless. Riding on his clinical three-goal performance, Argentina kicked off their title defence with a commanding 3-0 victory.
With these strikes, Messi equalled Germany's Miroslav Klose's all-time record for the most goals in FIFA World Cup history, with both players now tied at 16 goals each.
