39 Stunning Lionel Messi World Cup Stats For The GOAT's 39th Birthday

Messi became the FIFA World Cup's all-time top goalscorer (men and women) after a brace vs. Austria.
He turned 39 this week and keeps defying age — already the oldest to score a World Cup hat trick and the oldest to score a brace, now playing in his sixth World Cup.
He’s piling up more records: most World Cup wins (18), most matches (28) and minutes played (2,489), plus eight Ballons d'Or — plenty to talk about beyond the goals.
