Lionel Messi’s incredible pursuit of records at the 2026 FIFA World Cup carried on in remarkable fashion during the quarter-finals.

Facing Switzerland, the 39-year-old maestro provided an inch-perfect corner in the 10th minute, allowing Alexis Mac Allister to open the scoring and give Argentina a 1-0 lead.

With that assist, Messi — already the World Cup’s all-time leading goal scorer — achieved yet another historic milestone. He became the first player ever to record a total of ten assists across multiple editions of the tournament.

Over the past few weeks alone, the eight-time World Player of the Year has contributed eight goals and two assists, further cementing his legendary status on the world stage.

Thanks to Argentina’s thrilling 3-1 victory, Messi now has two more matches to extend his astonishing tally of records. The question remains: can anything or anyone stop him?
