18 - 🇦🇷 Lionel Messi is the all-time leading FIFA World Cup scorer with 18 goals.
But 🇫🇷 Kylian Mbappé is now just two goals behind him on 16, joint second with 🇩🇪 Miroslav Klose.
Chasing.
5 - Lionel Messi yesterday was the oldest player (38 years, 363 days) on record since 1966 to record 5+ shots (7) and 5+ dribbles (5) in a FIFA World Cup match.
The previous oldest was... Lionel Messi in 2022 against Poland, aged 35.
Vintage.
Of course Lionel Messi breaks the most goals in World Cup history 40 years to the day that Diego Maradona did the hand of God.
He’s ordained from God, there’s no other explanation.
“There was a time we had 90 million turnover and we had to pay back 22 million per year for the stadium, I couldn’t sleep because we had to qualify for the champions league to pay back the money. We had to sell our best players. Other clubs came in with lots of money but we were on the same level from 2007 to 2016”

The day I knew football is cooked was when we piped City 5-1 last season, and the media and rival fans started dragging us instead of City. That shit still hilarious. 🤣
