Every World Cup hat trick this century as Lionel Messi joins elite list‎

Lionel Messi had already done almost everything at the World Cup, but a hat trick in 2026 has added one more line to the record book. Argentina’s 3-0 win over Algeria saw Messi score in the 17th, 60th and 76th minutes, making him the latest name on a short list of players to score three times in a World Cup match this century.
