Lionel Messi is set to make history when Argentina face Spain in the FIFA World Cup 2026 final in New York. The 39-year-old will play his third World Cup final and could become the first player to start 3 finals. A goal would make him the oldest scorer in a World Cup final and place him among the few players to score in 2 finals. Messi is also chasing the Golden Boot and several scoring records. If Argentina win, he will become the first captain to lift the World Cup twice and help his country secure a second straight world title.
