Lionel Messi broke the silence after breaking the World Cup record of most goals scored in the competition, claiming "we are Argentina and we will always look to win against any opponent." Lionel Messi once again rewrote soccer history by becoming the all-time leading scorer in World Cup history after netting a clinical brace against Austria. Having already punched their ticket to the knockout stage of the 2026 World Cup, the Argentine captain made his team’s standard perfectly clear by declaring “we are Argentina and we will always look to win against any opponent.“ Speaking to reporters after the match where he was named Player of the Match, Messi reflected on both his individual milestone and the team’s collective objective: “Happiness, a lot of happiness, especially for the victory. We knew it was going to be a high-intensity match, that we couldn’t slack off. It helps us have a calmer week ahead, so I’m happy.“ With Algeria and Austria widely projected to be the two toughest opponents for Argentina in Group J play, Messi spoke candidly about the squad’s expectations coming into the tournament. “Getting both wins was in our plans. We knew it wasn’t going to be easy; nobody gives anything away. A lot of intensity, at times it was hard for us to play our game. It’s true that they didn’t hurt us either. It had become difficult to play, but at times we managed to do it,” he stated. Following a dominant 3-0 shutout against Algeria and a decisive 2-0 victory over Austria, Argentina has officially locked up their spot in the World Cup Round of 32. Regardless of the opponents they have already dismissed or the challenges that await them in the bracket, Messi issued a firm reminder of the standard expected of the reigning world champions: “We are Argentina, and we are always going to go looking to win matches against any opponent.“ Lionel Messi #10 of Argentina celebrates with teammates after scoring against Austria. With his goals against Austria, Messi has now scored in six consecutive World Cup games, matching the record of legends Just Fontaine and Jairzinho. Now with Jordan being the last rival on the 27th, the Inter Miami star will be looking forward to claim yet another record into his name. Messi revitalized after early penalty miss Messi initially had a golden opportunity to open the scoring in the eighth minute, but a pulled shot from the penalty spot uncharacteristically marked his third career World Cup penalty failure. Despite setting that unwanted tournament record early, the Argentine captain demonstrated his trademark mental resilience to rebound and strike twice before the final whistle. When questioned about his mindset and his ability to still enjoy the pressure of the tournament, Messi was candid about his brief frustration: “I experience it as something special, just like I always have. I enjoy playing and having a good time out on the pitch. I was angry about the penalty I missed; I hit it very badly.“ Following the miss, manager Lionel Scaloni utilized a scheduled cooling break to pull his players to the sideline, offering tactical adjustments and settling the squad’s nerves. The brief intermission completely reignited the Albiceleste attack, resulting in a fluid buildup sequence that allowed Messi to open the scoring in the 38th minute. During his post-match press conference, Scaloni shared the specific details of that sideline conversation while offering strong public backing for his captain. “The team had done 2 or 3 very good things up to that point (of the penalty). I think we felt a bit of a sensation that if we scored that goal, it was going to be different. It’s true that a few minutes passed where it seemed like nothing was happening. Naturally, it’s a blow not to convert a penalty. When Leo activates, everyone activates. And that is a credit to the team,” he candidly stated.

After his hat trick in the 2026 World Cup, Brazil icon Ronaldo Nazario highly praised Lionel Messi, stating that "It is time for the world to stop hiding and accept the fact that he is the greatest player of all time."

Despite dealing with a minor hamstring issue in the buildup, the 38-year-old captain delivered a masterclass performance to secure the victory, drawing level with Miroslav Klose at 16 career goals to share the tournament’s all-time scoring record. In conversations with Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo, Ronaldo spoke openly about the legendary forward’s enduring impact on the international stage: “Every time Messi steps onto the pitch, everything becomes historic and elegant. It is time for the world to stop hiding and accept the fact that he is the greatest player of all time.“ The former Brazilian striker concluded his thoughts by emphasizing how Messi continuously silences his critics during major tournaments. “He continues to deliver an exceptional performance every season, and yet, at the World Cup, there are still doubts about him.

Messi’s recognition of Ronaldo Nazario Entering the tournament opener with 13 career World Cup tallies, Messi’s clinical three-goal performance instantly vaulted him into a tie with Klose for the most goals in tournament history. In the process, the Argentine captain leapfrogged several icons on the all-time list, including Just Fontaine, Gerd Muller, and Ronaldo himself, who previously sat in sole possession of second place with 15 goals. During his postgame press conference, Messi expressed deep humility regarding the goalscoring milestone and made sure to share a mutual sign of respect with the Brazilian legend: “It is an honor to be up there, because of what it means. To be alongside Klose, those who are there. In the end, it’s just statistics and nothing more. Ronaldo (Nazario), from what I’ve seen, is one of the greatest, and he isn’t first.“ While only 17 years old, Ronaldo was a member of the iconic 1994 Brazil squad that lifted the trophy before later anchoring the national team during their 1998 runner-up finish and their historic 2002 championship run. Boasting one World Cup title from his legendary 2022 run in Qatar, Messi will have one final opportunity in North America to match the Brazilian striker’s tally of two tournament championships.
With a brace against Senegal in the 2026 World Cup, Kylian Mbappe turned into France's top goalscorer. Kylian Mbappe netted a stunning brace in France‘s 2026 World Cup opener against Senegal on Monday.

At just 27 years old, Mbappe has already shattered one of his nation’s most monumental milestones and is poised to push the record to unfathomable heights as France continues its group-stage campaign. Mbappe has long since surpassed French icons like Thierry Henry (51), Antoine Griezmann (44), and Michel Platini (41), but the most staggering stat is the massive production gap between him and his current international teammates. Of the other 25 players on France’s World Cup roster, Michael Olise and Ousmane Dembele are the next closest active scorers with just seven goals apiece, a jaw-dropping disparity that underscores just how pivotal the superstar forward is to Les Bleus‘ title defense. Mbappe keeps smashing World Cup records When stacked up against France’s legendary goalscorers, the defining differentiator is Mbappe’s unparalleled dominance on soccer’s biggest stage. Since making his tournament debut in 2018, no player has been more prolific, a run highlighted by his Golden Boot-winning performance at the 2022 edition in Qatar. Now, just one match into the 2026 tournament, the French captain has rewritten the history books yet again, bypassing some of the game’s most iconic figures to climb into a tie for third on the World Cup’s all-time scoring list. With his latest double, Mbappe now sits at 14 career World Cup goals, trailing only Germany’s Miroslav Klose (16) and Brazil’s Ronaldo (15). His stoppage-time strike drew him level with Die Mannschaft legend Gerd Müller while officially breaking his tie with international icons Lionel Messi and Just Fontaine (13), as well as Pelé (12).
"If I wanted to silence all the critics, I have to play until I'm 80." Kylian Mbappé fires back after breaking France's all-time scoring record against Senegal. Kylian Mbappe used his post-match press conference at the New York/New Jersey Stadium to deliver a defiant message to his critics. Having just guided France to a 3-1 victory over Senegal in their 2026 World Cup opener, the newly crowned all-time top scorer for Les Bleus made it clear he is unfazed by outside noise. The French captain put on a clinic in the second half, scoring a vital brace to rewrite his country’s history books. Yet, it was his post-match comments regarding his public perception that stole the headlines after the final whistle. When asked by reporters if his record-breaking performance was a statement to silence those who have questioned his recent club form or leadership, Mbappe dismissed the notion entirely. “I’m not playing for revenge,” Mbappe stated cleanly. “If I wanted to silence all the critics, I have to play until I’m 80 years old.” The forward emphasized that trying to satisfy every media pundit or fan opinion is an impossible task. Instead, he reinforced that his primary source of motivation comes from the honor of representing his nation on the absolute highest platform. “I’m only focused on doing my best for my country,” he added, aiming to put any lingering media narratives to rest. “That’s it. Full focus on that.” Outlasting legends in the record books After a sluggish, scoreless opening 45 minutes from France, Mbappe unlocked the stubborn Senegalese defense in the 66th minute by converting a sharp through ball from Michael Olise. While Bradley Barcola added insurance and Senegal pulled one back through Ibrahim Mbaye, Mbappe saved his finest moment for last. In the 97th minute of stoppage time, he unleashed a blistering 30-yard strike past Édouard Mendy to seal the 3-1 scoreline. The stunning final goal was his 58th for France, officially moving him past Olivier Giroud to become the standalone leading goalscorer in French international soccer history. The brace also elevated him past Just Fontaine as France’s highest-ever scorer in World Cups with 14 goals, putting him just two shy of Miroslav Klose’s absolute tournament record of 16. “Congrats, Kylian, you made it. I’m really happy for him,” Giroud told the BBC. “He deserves it.” France will look to build on their winning start when they face Iraq in their second Group I match on June 22.

Didier Deschamps had his hand in both of them, captaining his side to victory in 1998 before repeating the feat as manager in 2018.The ‘98 World Cup final was France’s first ever but Les Bleus have now participated in four of the last seven end games, with Deschamps involved in three of them. In North America, he will have one final shot at reaching another. These are the expectations, moulded by past success. Deschamps has taken France to three major finals in his 14-year stint as manager. “We’re among the favourites,” he says as he sits down for the interview. “It isn’t a taboo word for me.
