Lionel Messi continued to make history on Monday, breaking the all-time men’s World Cup scoring record by scoring his 17th goal during Argentina’s Group J match against Austria in Dallas. The Argentina and Inter Miami captain, who turns 39 on Wednesday, passed German legend Miroslav Klose, who scored 16 career World Cup goals. It was the fourth goal for Messi at this World Cup, and he has scored in six consecutive World Cup games since 2022.
