Lionel Messi continues to make history. In the round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup in Dallas, the Argentine legend came off the bench to score his sixth goal of the tournament, contributing to a 3-1 victory over Jordan.

The goal was historic: Messi became the first male player to score in seven consecutive World Cup matches. This streak further cements his legacy as one of the greatest footballers of all time.

Argentina controlled the match, but Jordan put up a tough fight. Messi's introduction changed the dynamic – not only did he find the net, but he also created several scoring opportunities for his teammates.

Argentina's quest for the title continues, and Messi's form suggests he remains a decisive factor. With each game, he proves that age is no barrier to breaking records and leading his team to success.
