Messi scores first hat-trick of 2026 World Cup

Lionel Messi has become the first player to score a hat-trick at the 2026 FIFA World Cup

The Argentina captain produced a masterclass against Algeria, scoring all three goals in his side’s 3-0 victory in Kansas City to kick off his sixth World Cup campaign in sensational fashion.

The hat-trick was the first of the tournament and also the first World Cup treble of Messi’s illustrious career. It took his tally to 16 World Cup goals, drawing him level with German legend Miroslav Klose as the competition’s all-time leading scorer.

At 38, Messi continues to rewrite football history, adding yet another milestone to a career already regarded as one of the greatest the sport has ever seen.
