Messi Sets World Cup Scoring Record, Eyes Future Beyond 2028
The captain of the Argentina national team continues to make history at the World Cup. At 39 years old, Leo has already scored five goals in just two matches, leading the race for the Golden Boot. Moreover, Messi has officially become the all-time top scorer in World Cup history with 18 goals, surpassing Miroslav Klose. The reigning champions have already secured their place in the Round of 16, and the forward is determined to honor his contract with Inter Miami until the end of 2028, even leaving open the possibility of participating in the 2030 World Cup.
“I don’t know. Honestly, I’m not thinking about it right now; the tournament still feels a bit far away. As I’ve always said, I live day by day and focus on the present. I will keep playing as long as I can contribute, feel physically good, and help my teammates,” Messi told the Argentine publication Ole.
