Argentina’s Lionel Messi delivered a standout performance at the 2026 World Cup, scoring a hat-trick against Algeria to lead his team to a commanding victory. The feat brought him level with Miroslav Klose’s record for most goals in World Cup history. Following the match, Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva humorously remarked in Geneva that he was considering signing Messi to play for Brazil, a comment that quickly drew attention given the historic rivalry between the two footballing nations.
Lula’s lighthearted statement reflected the admiration Messi’s current form has inspired even among rival supporters. Meanwhile, Brazil began their own World Cup campaign with a 1–1 draw against Morocco, a result Lula downplayed by noting that Spain had also drawn with Cape Verde. For Messi, this tournament marks his sixth World Cup appearance, equaling the record held by Cristiano Ronaldo and Mexico’s Guillermo Ochoa.
Argentina’s next match in Group J is scheduled against Austria on June 22, where Messi and his team aim to secure a place in the knockout stage.
