In the second match of the group stage of the 2026 World Cup, Messi not only made the Argentine fans happy with his two goals, but also attracted the attention of many football fans in South America. Shakira, who was watching the game from a special place, sent a congratulatory message to Messi after the match.
The famous singer posted a photo of Messi on his Instagram story and wrote: “I’m so proud of you for everything you do for your family, your country and all Latinos.” He also mentioned Messi’s sacrifices and added: “Your effort and sacrifice is an example for many. Keep shining.”
With the two goals that Messi scored, he became the best scorer in the history of World Cups. These two goals made Argentina’s national team advance to the round of 16, and Messi has now set a new record with 18 goals in six World Cups. By continuing this process, he can increase his distance from the previous record of Miroslav Klose who scored 16 goals.
In the continuation of these competitions, the Argentine national team will face Jordan in the group stage on Saturday, June 27.
