Lionel Messi has etched his name in the annals of football history by setting a new record for the most goals scored in World Cup history. The Argentine superstar achieved this feat by scoring a brace against Austria in a match held in Dallas. With these goals, Messi surpassed the previous record held by German legend Miroslav Klose, who had 16 goals. Messi now stands at 17 goals in World Cup tournaments.

Historic Achievement

Messi's first goal came in the 38th minute of the match, breaking Klose's long-standing record. He then added another goal in injury time to further solidify his place in history. This remarkable achievement comes after Messi had previously matched Klose's record by scoring a hat-trick in Argentina's opening match against Algeria, which ended in a 3-0 victory for Argentina.

Previous Records and Achievements

Before this match, Messi had already made significant contributions to Argentina's World Cup campaign. Despite missing a penalty in the 9th minute, the 38-year-old forward demonstrated his unparalleled skill and determination. Since his World Cup debut in 2006, Messi has been a consistent performer, now playing in his sixth World Cup. His international career boasts 122 goals in 201 matches for Argentina.

Fans' Aspirations

Argentine fans are now hopeful that Messi can lead their team to back-to-back World Cup titles, a feat last achieved by Brazil in 1962. With Messi at the helm, Argentina's chances look promising as they aim to replicate Brazil's historic double.
