Argentine legend Lionel Messi continued his scoring dominance in the World Cup, compiling a historic tally against African teams after raising his total to seven full goals.

This impressive scoring record came against three teams: Messi started his favorite pastime with two goals against Nigeria in the group stage in Brazil, then returned to shake the nets of the 'Green Eagles' again with a third goal in the Russia World Cup. The flea's scoring machine did not stop there; it extended to include the Desert Warriors, as he scored a historic hat-trick against Algeria, before increasing his tally against African teams with his first goal against Cape Verde and his first against an African team in the knockout stages, thus confirming his tactical superiority and cementing his psychological hold over representatives of the black continent on the world stage.
