'He Has A Special Kind Of Magic': Simeone Hails Messi's Performance In FIFA WC

By IANS News June 28, 2026 • 16:58 PM View: 207

FIFA World Cup: Lionel Messi earned glowing praise from Argentina teammate Giuliano Simeone after extending his FIFA World Cup scoring streak to a record seven consecutive matches in the team's 3-1 victory over Jordan in their final Group J fixture on Sunday.

Messi, who came off the bench after starting the match among the substitutes, scored Argentina’s third goal to take his World Cup tally to 19. The strike also saw the 39-year-old surpass Just Fontaine and Jairzinho for the longest scoring streak in World Cup history.

For Simeone, however, the statistics only reinforce what he witnesses every day in training.
