That familiar scene in football history, once again Lionel Messi’s trademark goal of a magical free-kick. Lionel Messi has turned history upside down by taking the field against Jordan today on the stage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
\nToday, Sunday (June 28), in the 60th minute of the match, Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni picked up Lautaro Martinez and put the 39-year-old superstar on the field. That moment came within the moment of entering the field. Messi, in addition to shaking the Jordan net from a wonderful free-kick to give Argentina a 3-1 lead, single-handedly wrote his name in the immortal pages of football history. LM Ten became the first player in the long history of the World Cup to score in 7 consecutive matches.
\nBefore this goal, Messi was tied with French legend Just Fontaine (1958) and Brazilian Zhejinho (1970) for the most goals in six consecutive World Cups. The Argentine magician broke Jordan’s seven-decade-old record and single-handedly took over.
\nEarlier, Scaloni made three major changes to the team’s tactics an hour into the match. Goal scorers Giovani Lo Celso and youngster Nico Paz were taken off the field, and Thiago Almada and Alexis McAllister were brought on to strengthen the midfield and attack. However, it was captain Messi, who came off the bench, who stole the show. The MetLife Stadium fell silent as Jordan won a free kick from outside the box, and the next moment, when Messi’s familiar magic found the net, the Albiceleste were rewriting the record books.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
