Messi’s Record-Breaking Night—Every Step Creates History

At 39, Messi is still reshaping everything the football world thought it knew. In this World Cup, he has already scored multiple times, and he has broken the record for scoring in multiple consecutive World Cups, greatly updating the tournament’s milestones.

How terrifying is Messi’s form? In the group stage (three matches) plus the Round of 16, he has been involved in a goal or an assist in every game. His dribbling, passing, shooting, and set-piece ability remain Argentina’s sharpest weapons. Ahead of the match, Switzerland’s coach, Yakin, stated clearly: he will definitely use a double-team to closely mark and wear down Messi, with Xhaka cutting off Messi’s midfield link-ups with Enzo and McAllister.

Argentina’s winning ace cards are twofold. First is Messi’s dead-ball set-piece mastery—at this tournament, he has repeatedly helped the team break through via set pieces. Second is midfield rotation and tactical adjustment: in the second half, they will accelerate through substitutions, aiming to end the match within 90 minutes. If Messi scores again, he will further cement his position as the all-time leading scorer in World Cup history. Before the match, Messi said, “Every game could be my last. I’ll enjoy every minute.”
