This past Monday, Lionel Messi, captain of Argentina, joined an elite group of players who have scored in six straight World Cup matches.
The striker from Inter Miami scored twice in Argentina’s 2-0 World Cup victory over Austria.
Just a few days before the match, Messi scored a hat trick against Algeria.
The legendary Barcelona player also found the back of the net during the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Messi joins the ranks of just two other players—Just Fontaine of France in 1958 and Jairzinho of Brazil in 1970—in World Cup history to score in six straight games after his goal against Austria.
When Argentina takes on Jordan in their last group match next week, Messi will be looking to add to his record.
