The Greatest of All Time
Leo Messi
In a Wembley final locked at 0–0 against European champions Italy, Messi’s burst and cutback from the left carve open a packed defence for Lautaro Martínez, his vision breaking the deadlock and pushing his career tally to 330 assists.
On the biggest stage of his career, Messi scores twice over 120 minutes in the World Cup final, leading Argentina through France’s comeback chaos and personally dragging his nation to the long-awaited trophy that completes his legacy.
In a 5–0 El Clásico demolition already at 2–0, Messi’s perfectly timed through ball slices Real Madrid open for Villa to make it three, capping a masterclass in control and vision on the way to his 65th career assist.
Messi’s hat-trick against Sevilla delivers his 30th career treble and breaks La Liga’s all-time scoring record in one night, capped by a trademark free-kick and complete creative control from deep.
With Argentina trailing 1–0 in a must-win World Cup qualifier in Quito, Messi latches onto Ángel Di María’s early pass to level the score and ignite the hat-trick that drags his country back toward Russia, bringing up career goal 580 in the process.
