GOAT Mode: Messi Sets FIFA World Cup Record !

Lionel Messi is widely regarded as the greatest player in the history of the sport of football, and he is also regarded as the greatest athlete in general of all time. This was on scintillating display last night.

Lionel Messi created history by becoming the leading goal scorer of all time in World Cup history as he scored a sensational 18 goals in the World Cup till now.

This is the first time that a player was able to score 18 goals in World Cup history and the decades record that was held by Miroslav Klose of Germany has been finally broken.

The interesting statistic here is that Argentina has scored a total of five goals in the ongoing season of the FIFA World Cup and Messi have to score all five of them, which shows dominance of the highest order.

Messi has been literally untouchable with the ball at his feet as he has been bringing fans together with his insane performances over the last few days. Now he has scripted history again by becoming the highest goal scorer in the history of the tournament with 18 goals.

But the chances are that this statistic is going to be broken in the near future as France has produced Kylian Mbappé who has scored 14 goals already and is likely to set a new record in the next few seasons.

But considering the fact that this could be the last and final World Cup tournament for Lionel Messi, it has to be seen if he could be going back to back in the tournament and actually secure it.
