Well, it’s Lionel Messi. The Argentine has scored 31 goals for the reigning World Cup champions. Furthermore, the 36-year-old scored a brace in that World Cup final in Qatar, preventing France from winning back-to-back trophies.
During this international break, Messi scored a goal in the 1-0 win over Ecuador as CONMEBOL began their 2026 World Cup qualifying process. Meanwhile, the Frenchman didn’t pick up a goal in France’s two games this window but don’t expect that to last too long.
