Argentina have the likes of Julian Alvarez, Lautaro Martinez, Enzo Fernandez and a whole roster of No. 1 players for their respective clubs.
Yet, the five goals that Argentina have scored at the World Cup have all been from the 38-year-old Lionel Messi 😂🔥
🚨 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗧: World Cup all time TOPSCORERS:
🇦🇷 Lionel Messi (18)
🇩🇪 Miroslav Klose (16)
🇧🇷 Ronaldo (15)
🇫🇷 Kylian Mbappé (14)
🇩🇪 Gerd Müller (14)
🇫🇷 Just Fontaine (13)
🇧🇷 Pelé (12)
🚨 Kylian Mbappé: “I knew that Leo Messi was going to score goals… he ALWAYS scores!”.
“I’m going to keep scoring goals to help my team go as far as possible”.
“And of course, by scoring, I'll get closer to the record”.
In 2016, Messi retired from the Argentina national team after heartbreakingly losing the Copa América final, his fourth major final loss with his country.
10 years later, he’s a 2x Copa América champion, a World Cup champion and now the all-time men’s top World Cup scorer.
What a turn around in his international career 🐐
🚨🇦🇷 Julián Álvarez: “I have recovered from my issues, I feel ready and good”.
“Lionel Messi has spent more than 20 years being the best in the world, and he is the best in football history”.
