Now that Messi’s World Cup career has reached a perfect conclusion, here’s a look at his career World Cup stats after 16 years and five tournaments.
Messi scored 13 World Cup goals in his career.
After scoring six goals in his first four tournaments, Messi found the back of the net seven times in Qatar. He scored in six of Argentina’s matches and became the first man to score in the round of 16, quarterfinals, semifinals and final at the same World Cup. He was especially lethal on penalty kicks, picking up four goals from the spot, converting his attempt in a quarterfinal shootout against the Netherlands and getting Argentina on the board to begin a shootout against France in the final.
Messi logged his first World Cup assist in 2014 and dished out two more in 2018. Like he did with goals, Messi doubled his career assist total in Qatar. He came away with the 2014 World Cup Golden Ball Award despite falling to Germany in that year’s final. In 2022, he was the best player on the best team and took home the Golden Ball again.How many World Cup Golden Boot Awards does Lionel Messi have?
