In every match of the Argentine national team, the fans who love this game, and who especially love Albiceleste, know that Messi is living his last days with football. They always try to enjoy his presence on the field as much as possible, just as he enjoys every moment he lives, and enjoys it as if it were his last.

The talented Argentinian scored a hat-trick against the Algerian national team in the opening match of the tournament for the Argentinian national team, and today he scored a remarkable brace against the Austrian national team to secure Argentina's top spot in the group.

When asked about the number of goals he could score in the tournament, and how he feels physically and technically, the legend replied:

Right now I'm tired, I'm not thinking about that. I just want to celebrate the win with my teammates.

Did we think about the record? No, we were just focused on winning the match.

We've already given the fans many moments of joy, but we'll try to give them even more!

Messi now has 18 goals in his World Cup history, having broken the record previously held by Klose. It seems he is not satisfied with all these individual achievements, and there will be many more achievements in this tournament.
