Lionel Messi has already made history at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, becoming the tournament's all-time leading goalscorer. But for the greatest player of all time, the journey is far from over.
As Argentina chases another World Cup title, Messi continues to redefine his legacy on football's biggest stage while transforming the game in the United States.
