## Resource

Messi just tied Klose for most World Cup goals with his 16th, scoring on his 39th birthday and in his sixth straight World Cup game — but the path wasn’t easy: he missed a penalty for the third straight World Cup, adding to his 4-for-7 record. The penalty came after a brutal tackle on Lautaro Martinez, with the defender playing through a broken jaw. Despite the miss, Messi delivered history earlier, netting his first-ever World Cup hat trick in his 200th international match — exactly 20 years after his debut. He’s now played in a record 28 World Cup games, all while battling personal challenges, including his father’s health struggles. His tears after the hat trick? Not just for the win — but for the tough days off the pitch. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
