Lionel Messi has officially become the all-time leading scorer in FIFA World Cup history, reaching 18 total goals after his performance against Austria.

The record-breaking moment came during Argentinas 20 victory, where Messi scored both goals and surpassed Germanys Miroslav Klose on the all-time list.

Messi had earlier equaled the record with his hat-trick against Algeria in Argentinas opening match, before setting the new benchmark in the following fixture.

This achievement marks one of the most significant milestones in World Cup history, adding to Messis legacy across multiple tournament editions.

Argentinas system has played a major role in his success, with midfielders consistently supplying chances through controlled possession and structured buildup play.
