Messi Becomes First Player to Score in 7 Consecutive World Cup Matches

The Argentine legend Lionel Messi continued to make history in the World Cup, becoming the first player to score in seven consecutive matches in the tournament's history.

The historic achievement came after Messi found the net in the last four matches he played with the Argentine national team in the 2022 World Cup, before continuing the streak by scoring in the first three matches of the 2026 edition, achieving an unprecedented record in World Cup history.

The brilliance of the "Tango" captain did not stop there, as he also strengthened his lead in the tournament's all-time top scorers list by raising his tally to 19 goals after scoring the third goal in Argentina's 3-1 victory over Jordan in the third round of the group stage.

Messi continues to deliver exceptional performances in the 2026 World Cup, affirming his status as one of the greatest players in the history of the game, as he steadily leads the Argentine national team towards the knockout stages after finishing the group stage with a perfect record.
