With his goal on Saturday in Argentina’s victory against Australia (2-1) in the round of 16, Albiceleste star Leo Messi caught up with the group that leads the 2022 World Cup scorers’ ranking with 3 goals.
Messi thus joined the Spaniard Álvaro Morata, the Frenchman Kylian Mbappé, the Englishman Marcus Rashford, the Dutchman Cody Gakpo (who did not score in the Netherlands’ 3-1 victory against the United States) and the Ecuadorian Enner Valencia, the latter already with no options to increase their offensive production as the Tri was eliminated from the tournament.
