Messi sets record as seventeenth in World Cup
Argentine star Lionel Messi has broken the record for the most goals scored by a player in World Cup history, reaching 17 goals after netting a goal in a match against Austria in the 2026 edition in North America. Messi, who will turn 39 on Wednesday, scored his goal with a left-footed shot in the 39th minute, after missing an early penalty. This achievement allows him to surpass the record he shared with German legend Miroslav Klose, who has 16 goals, while being followed by Brazilian star Ronaldo with 15 goals.
