The Argentine ace is four goals away from the best goalscorer for La Albiceleste in World Cup games.

Lionel Messi may have taken too long to score his first goal in the 2018 FIFA World Cup, but he surely made it count.

"La Pulga" gave Argentina the lead against Nigeria with a well-placed shot, and he also managed to join quite an elite goalscoring list in La Albiceleste's history. Added to that, he made World Cup history since he scored in three different stages of his life.

Let's see if he can add more stats to his tally and help Argentina to the next stage.
