At 11:00 on the 18th Beijing time, in addition to the final of 2022 Qatar World Cup , it is also the "last dance" of Argentina's football king Messi (Lionel Messi)'s career in the World Cup. In this game, in addition to whether Messi can realize his dream of winning and make his career feel regretful, there are also five major records waiting for him to break through.
After Croatia 's semi-finals, Argentine's king Messi scored one goal and assisted one, breaking several more records. As the saying goes, "Records are used to break!" This sentence usually refers to the record reached by legendary players, which is broken through by those who come from behind and achieve new milestones. But this World Cup, Messi, a 35-year-old veteran in the football world, continues to surpass the records of his predecessors one by one, and ask if you agree or not!
The most games played in the World Cup in history
Messi, who became famous at the young age, has participated in five World Cup events since 2006, and has successfully advanced to the knockout stage in each session, and has played 7 games in two sessions. As the number one Argentina of this generation, Messi's record of playing has been accumulated. After the semi-finals, Messi's record of playing games rose to 25 games, tied with former German captain Mattus. If nothing unexpected happens, Messi will win the record of his 26th World Cup in this World Cup final and enjoy this honor exclusively.
The most time in the World Cup in history
is also a game record. As of the top 4 games, Messi played in the World Cup for a total of 2194 minutes in his career, and this data ranks second in World Cup history, second only to the 2217 minutes of Italian legendary defender Paolo Maldini (Paolo Maldini ). Although Messi is rumored to have an injury to his left hamstring, he can become the new student in this record as long as he can play for 23 minutes in the championship game.
The most involved in the offense in the World Cup in history
Since the World Cup finally had a relatively sound statistical database in 1996, a total of 4 players have participated in the team's goals in their World Cup career, namely 16 goals and 3 assists by German superstar Miroslav Klose; 15 goals and 4 assists by Brazilian star Ronaldo Nazario; 14 goals and 5 assists by German legendary striker Gerd Mueller, as well as 11 goals and 8 assists by Messi. Therefore, as long as Messi can participate in Argentina's goal in the championship game, he will surpass the above-mentioned stars.
Messi participated in goals or assists in the 5 World Cup, and this data tied Ronaldo. Considering that Messi has accumulated 5 goals and 3 assists in the World Cup so far in the top four games, he should have the opportunity to set a new historical record in the championship game.
The Argentine player with the most goals in the World Cup
scored a draw at the penalty point and shot Livakovic, who became famous for the penalty shootout this year. Messi officially became the player with the most goals in the World Cup in Argentina's history.
Although Messi has made many appearances in the World Cup, his number of goals is not much higher than that of other scorers in the world. Before the start of the game, Maradona's 8 goals in and Batistuta's 10 goals record were still ahead of Messi. After 6 games, Messi has accumulated 5 goals, tying and surpassing the above two legendary stars in a row.
Interestingly, at the peak of Messi's career, there were several center players such as Aguero , Higuain , Carlos Tevez , etc. who became famous in Europe, but they often cannot perform in major competitions. On the contrary, this year not only pushed Messi to another peak, but also brought Alvarez as a young player. With Alvarez only 22 years old now, he has three World Cups to play before he is 34 years old, and he is definitely likely to catch up with Messi's record in the future.
The most wins in the World Cup in history
Finally, Messi has helped Argentina win 5 wins in this World Cup, and his career has brought 18 victories to Argentina. This data tied with Klose, who once participated in the World Cup 4 times.If Argentina can defeat France in this championship game, it will not only be their second victory in 36 years to win the Hercules Cup , but Messi will also be the player with the most winning games in history.
