Lionel Messi made his likely last-ever home game with Argentina one to remember on Tuesday. Inter Miami CF ’s legendary No. 10 scored a spectacular goal as the reigning World Cup champions crushed Zambia, 5-0, in their final home appearance before defending their title at this summer’s 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The atmosphere around Argentina is beginning to shift as Lionel Messi, Lionel Scaloni, and Rodrigo De Paul find themselves at the center of a growing debate ahead of the next global tournament.

When it comes to where he has scored on the pitch, Messi has hit 724 of his 900 goals from inside the penalty box, with 112 of these penalties. He has netted a further 11 times from the spot in shootouts (taking his team's first penalty on each occasion), but these do not count towards his career goals total.

Lionel Messi’s recent goal for Argentina has fans asking how the 2026 scoring race stands compared to Cristiano Ronaldo, who was absent from Portugal’s recent international fixtures.

Lionel Messi's plans for the 2026 World Cup are not confirmed yet.

The pair are said to have a tense relationship after Messi’s departure from Camp Nou.
