Lionel Messi continues to shine at this World Cup, leading Argentina with impressive performances and steadily adding to his tally of goals. The Argentine forward is leaving his mark on the tournament's history, setting new records one after another.
In the match against Austria, where he scored two goals, Messi climbed to the top of the list of the best scorers in the history of the World Cup. He first left behind Brazilian Ronaldo Nazario and then German Miroslav Klose, taking first place in this prestigious ranking.
Messi's new record was also commented on by Ronaldo himself, otherwise known as "The Phenomenon", who did not spare praise for the Argentine star.
" For the gods of football, these statistics show that he has surpassed everyone else. If anyone deserves the title of the best goalscorer of all time, it is undoubtedly Messi. He is 38 years old, oh my God! At the age of 38, I had ended my career four years ago and weighed 120 kilograms ," Ronaldo declared.
The Brazilian legend was for many years Brazil's all-time leading scorer at the World Cup. He ended his career with the Brazilian national team with 15 goals in three editions of the tournament. Ronaldo participated in four World Cups, but in the 1994 edition, when he was just 17 years old, he did not play a single minute.
