Liosiies men’s World Cup oals rec trick as Argentina

Kansas City, Missouri (AP) — Lionel Messi became very emotional after scoring Argentina’s first goal in their World Cup opening match against Algeria. He wiped tears from his eyes with his jersey because the moment meant so much to him.

After that, Messi continued to play brilliantly. He scored two more goals, completing a hat trick and helping Argentina win the match 3–0.

Before the game, some people were worried about Messi’s hamstring injury and wondered if, at almost 39 years old, he could still lead Argentina to another World Cup title. His performance answered all those questions. By scoring three goals, Messi showed that he is still one of the best players in the world.

His hat trick also helped him reach an important milestone. He tied Germany’s Miroslav Klose for the most goals scored in men’s World Cup history.
