Lionel Messi has set an incredible World Cup record following his goal against Nigeria on Tuesday.

Argentina pinned their hopes on Messi. His country needed him more than ever, and he delivered by opening the scoring in typically sublime fashion with the two-time winners eventually securing a spot in the next round.

He netted the 100th goal of the tournament and became the first player in World Cup history to score in his teens, twenties, and thirties.

Unbelievable.

What a player.
