About this market
Messi opened Argentina’s 2026 World Cup title defense with a first-career tournament hat trick in a 3-0 win over Algeria on June 16, lifting his all-time men’s World Cup goal tally to 16 and tying Miroslav Klose’s record on his sixth appearance. The 38-year-old, who turns 39 during the event, has now scored in five consecutive World Cups and recorded 24 goal contributions overall, surpassing Pelé. Argentina’s group-stage schedule and potential knockout progression will determine additional opportunities, while Messi’s minutes, fitness, and role in Lionel Scaloni’s attack remain the central variables for traders assessing his final 2026 total.
