In the quarter-final against the Netherlands, he scored one goal and set up another. The match ended 2-2 after 90 minutes, with Argentina winning on penalties. That day, Messi answered everything by staring the Dutch straight in the eye. https://media.prothomalo.com/prothomalo-english/2026-10-06/yua519e7/prothomalo-bangla2026-10-06fbr6m07x২.avif Messi’s first World Cup goal. Twenty years later, at the World Cup held last July, he became the tournament’s record goalscorer. Kylian Mbappé later took the record, but Messi’s magic at the World Cup became eternal. That magic began with his first goal. https://media.prothomalo.com/prothomalo-english/2026-10-06/nnhl3sl2/prothomalo-bangla2026-10-06959ksels3.avif A golazo! A dazzling left-footed chip from a little distance towards the left corner of the box. The Mexico goalkeeper had come off his line and could do nothing. That stunning goal by Messi remains one of the finest moments of his Argentina career. Many saw it as the moment when the future legend title was stamped onto Messi’s name. https://media.prothomalo.com/prothomalo-english/2026-10-06/l16k9ozj/prothomalo-bangla2026-10-06wquwse6h4.avif Argentina were staring at elimination in the last 16. Egypt were leading 2-0, with just 12 minutes remaining. Then came the Messi magic! He set up Cristian Romero from a cross to bring his team level. He then scored himself with a superb half-volley. Enzo Fernández later scored the winner, but Messi’s five-minute burst, which brought Argentina back level, created a remarkable moment. https://media.prothomalo.com/prothomalo-english/2026-10-06/b9ar360r/prothomalo-bangla2026-10-06ew0kva9k5.avif It was the semi-final of the tournament’s centenary edition. In Argentina’s 4-0 win over the United States, Messi scored from a free-kick from 25 yards. Instead of sending the ball over the four-man wall, he struck it around the side. It was one of the finest free-kick goals of Messi’s career. https://media.prothomalo.com/prothomalo-english/2026-10-06/jozijgq6/prothomalo-bangla2026-10-06rqbu8i5e6.avif Messi’s best match of his career? Probably. In that World Cup final, Messi scored twice in extra time. He also scored in the shootout. After Gonzalo Montiel scored the decisive penalty, many will never forget the sight of Messi falling to his knees on the pitch in celebration of winning the World Cup. https://media.prothomalo.com/prothomalo-english/2026-10-06/xb6thbgy/prothomalo-bangla2026-10-065wrnv1k4soccer-floater-jumbo.avif Messi received the ball near the halfway line. Almost the entire Bosnia and Herzegovina team was in front of him. He surged forward. In the blink of an eye, he beat two defenders and scored an incredible goal. There have been many goals like that in Messi’s career, but he had spent much of that match walking before scoring that day. That is what made the goal special. https://media.prothomalo.com/prothomalo-english/2026-10-06/b9behkh2/prothomalo-bangla2026-10-06xet670rv7.avif As a child, Messi had two friends named Leandro Benítez and Lucas Scaglia. Before the Brazil match in the group stage of the 2005 Under-20 Copa América, his two friends told Messi that if he scored, he should celebrate by holding three fingers to his chest as a symbol of the three friends. In the 75th minute, Messi scored and did exactly that. https://media.prothomalo.com/prothomalo-english/2026-10-06/aurjvr1l/prothomalo-bangla2026-10-06oxy3cy2pimages.avif This match against Mexico was extremely important for Argentina as they sought to reach the next round. Mexico played very well tactically, and Argentina still had not scored after 63 minutes. Then came the Messi magic! In the 64th minute, he scored with a superb shot from 20 yards. Mexico never recovered after that goal. Later, Enzo Fernández scored as well. https://media.prothomalo.com/prothomalo-english/2026-10-06/7w50j4bi/prothomalo-bangla2026-10-06jt7zy73j8.jpg Argentina, winless in four consecutive matches, had to beat Ecuador to keep their hopes of qualifying for the World Cup alive.
