Lionel Messi equals the historic World Cup scoring record

As part of the 2026 World Cup matches, the Argentina national team recorded a convincing 3-0 victory last night against Algeria in Group G. The match was marked by the personal achievement of the national team star, Lionel Messi, who became one of the two most prolific players in the history of the tournament.

According to the report on the channel GALATASARAY BAŞAKŞEHİR CANLI, Messi completed the mission and became the "Dünya Kupası tarihinin en golcü oyuncusu" (the top goalscorer in World Cup history), equaling Miroslav Klose's record.

The report from Sondakika Haber Gündem confirms that in Argentina's first match in Group G, Messi scored a hat-trick that raised his personal tally and placed him at the top of the historical scoring table alongside Klose. The Turkish press, which reports on the event from a purely sporting perspective, notes that Argentina easily defeated Algeria and that Messi continues to race toward new records.

This achievement comes as part of Argentina's string of successes, with the channel TGRT HABER emphasizing that "the reigning champion continues from the same point where it left off," and solidifies its status as the favorite in the current tournament.
