Leo Messi's spectacle, the "flea" scores a "triple" against Algeria

A spectacular performance from Lionel Messi helped Argentina get off to a flying start at the 2026 World Cup with a 3-0 win over Algeria in their opening match of the tournament.

"The Flea" has left all doubts about his form behind, showing that he is once again decisive for the "Albiceleste" and can make the difference again. He managed to beat Luka Zidan with a powerful shot from outside the area in the first half and his personal display continued in the second half of the game.

Initially, Messi proved capable of following the action and pushing the ball into the net after Zidane had not punched it properly, while later with another perfect shot on the edge of the area, he sealed the final score 3-0.
