Iconic Barcelona player Lionel Messi has once again cemented his legacy in international football history this past weekend.
The 39-year-old Argentinian star found the back of the net for his national team, adding to his remarkable achievements.
Lionel Scaloni’s squad participated in their final World Cup group stage match early Sunday morning against a less experienced opponent, Jordan.
Messi began the game on the bench in Dallas but was substituted into the match during the second half.
As previously mentioned, the veteran forward made his presence felt, scoring his sixth goal in just three appearances at this summer’s World Cup.
With a powerful free-kick from a distance, Messi concluded the scoring in Argentina’s 3-1 victory.
This achievement is even more significant: according to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Messi is now the first player in history to have scored in seven consecutive World Cup matches.
