An incredible performance from Leo at this World Cup.
Details: After a hard-fought victory over Austria, 38-year-old Argentine genius Lionel Messi, who netted a brace and climbed to the top of the all-time World Cup goal scorers list, commented on his scoring frenzy at this tournament.
Leo admits he is very tired, but his thoughts are only with the team. He also responded to a question about how many more goals he might score in this tournament:
"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!" Leo said.
Thanks to his hat-trick against Algeria and today's brace against Austria, Messi has now brought his World Cup goal tally to 18.
Reminder: Curse! Lionel Messi fails to score from the spot in 3 consecutive World Cups
