⚽⚽⚽ Lionel Messi's first-ever World Cup HAT-TRICK, exactly 20 years after his first World Cup goal, guided Argentina to victory over Algeria.

Messi's hat-trick means he’s now the joint TOP SCORER EVER in the World Cup with 16 goals with Miro Klose 🔝.

Messi reached 200 appearances for Argentina. He joins Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo and Kuwait's Bader Al-Mutawa as the only men’s players in history to reach that international milestone.

And of course, he was named "Man of the Match" for his brilliant performance against Algeria.
