Messi has been inspirational for the Albiceleste, notching five goals and three assists, scoring in each stage of the tournament. In fact, he can become the first player in World Cup history to score in the group stage, round of 16, quarter-final, semi-final and final of one edition. Meanwhile, with Messi currently on 11 goals and eight assists in his World Cup career, another goal involvement would be of huge significance.
It would make the Paris Saint-Germain star the first to reach 20 at the competition, ahead of Miroslav Klose , Ronaldo Nazario and Gerd Muller .
