## Resource

Messi ties Klose’s all-time World Cup goals record with a hat trick for Argentina, prompting a heartfelt tribute from Thomas Müller — the 2014 final rival now watching from the sidelines as a pundit. Müller, who’s been covering the tournament, called Messi “unique, irreplaceable, and the best” and dropped a “goat” emoji on Instagram. Despite limited personal rapport, the mutual respect between these two legends is undeniable — from their epic 2014 showdown to a recent MLS Cup clash. With teams in different conferences and Müller’s contract nearing its end, a future collision may be unlikely, but their enduring legacies keep them in the spotlight as soccer icons.
