Argentina were lined up and ready for the walkout while Messi looked around for Austria.

Austria were still making their way out of the dressing room, leaving Argentina waiting on their own for a few minutes.

Mind games 👀🧠

Only full craft dedication when photographing the GOAT 🐐📸

Wait, did you really think Messi was going to break the record from a penalty?

That's not GOAT behaviour 🐐

MESSI ON THE DOUBLE WITH HIS LAST KICK OF THE GAME! THE GENIUS! HOW DOES HE KEEP DOING IT 🐐

In 2016, Messi retired from the Argentina national team after heartbreakingly losing the Copa América final, his fourth major final loss with his country.

10 years later, he’s a 2x Copa América champion, a World Cup champion and now the all-time men’s top World Cup scorer.

What a turn around in his international career 🐐

Messi has scored more World Cup goals after turning 35 (12) than these players in their ENTIRE careers:

-Thierry Henry (6)
-Cristiano Ronaldo (8)
-Maradona (8)
-Neymar (8)
-Rivaldo (8)
-Harry Kane (10)

Unreal longevity 🐐

Jurgen Klopp and Thomas Muller had to congratulate and hug Messi after that masterclass 😂❤️

Austria had a massive chance to level the game in the 92' with a set piece.

Not even two minutes later, several defenders fell to the ground as Messi sealed Argentina's victory with his second goal of the game 😯💔

Same vibes, different outcome 😲🔥

Even Zlatan was in awe of Messi 😂

If you think Thomas Tuchel had it bad... 👀📸
