It is a shame that this generation compares this guy to Ronaldo.

No rational person can watch both of them play, see how they control games and score goals, and conclude that Ronaldo is even close to Messi, let alone better than him.

To every rational football mind, Messi is the undisputed greatest player of all time.
Everyone knows Messi stands alone at the top.
But it will be boring for him not to have a rival

Very good. But with the expansion of FIFA matches to about 48 teams now, it would be easier to break.

Never mind that Mbappe is just a few goals behind and he still probably has 2 world cups in him after this edition.

So nice record to have but not one that will last like that of his 91-goal calendar year record.
they will break it next world cup

Those that are claiming Ronaldo is greatest are doing it purely for mischievous, they are bitter people who always bitter when they see good things.

Even off field character, Messi is someone who suppose to be people's role model.

Just imagine a player who is also a legend in a football club, went back to Man United to play at twilight of his career, only for him to use his inflated ego to destroy every legacy he had recorded in such magnificent club.

I feel sorry for whoever makes Ronaldo is role model.

Lionel Messi 🐐 has written a new chapter of football history at 38 years and 363 days old.

The Argentine star is now the all-time leading goalscorer at the FIFA men’s World Cup, breaking Miroslav Klose’s 12-year record by scoring his 17th goal on Monday (22 June).


Messi’s 38th-minute strike against Austria is his fourth goal of the 2026 tournament and gives him the outright scoring record, as well as extending the record for most FIFA World Cup appearances in his 28th match.
GOAT with steeze.

It's like their coach gave the midfielders and wingers one instruction, all balls must be passed to Messi.
Re: Lionel Messi Becomes All-time Leading FIFA Men’s World Cup Scorer With 17th Goal by Angelfrost(m): 8:00pm On Jun 22
Lol... He just scored again! tongue

Messi is just IMPOSSIBLE.

At this point, all other players should stop trying to beat him... No need abeg.

They should all compete among themselves at their own level... Messi has completely left them all... I mean ALL of them! No exceptions!!!


Before scoring the first goal, the entire stadium was practically standing still waiting and holding their breath... They all knew it was INEVITABLE!

Even the opponents and their fans were happy just to have witnessed this MIRACLE... It didn't really bother them that their team was going to lose. grin

Messi's 17 WC goals so far:
2006 → 1
2010 → 0
2014 → 4
2018 → 1
2022 → 7
2026 → 4 (so far).

Could have been over20 if he had score more goals in 2010 & 2018.
