00:02Lionel Messi added another remarkable chapter to his legendary career by breaking three more FIFA World Cup records as he
00:11inspired Argentina to a dramatic 3-2 comeback victory in the last 16 over Egypt.
00:19The 39-year-old scored Argentina's equaliser after setting up Cristian Romero's goal before Enzo Fernandes of Chelsea completed a
00:29stunning late turnaround, keeping the defending champion's title defence of the World Cup alive.
00:36Messi's strike saw him become the first player to score in nine consecutive World Cup matches. He also equalled Miroslav
00:45Klose's record of 14 appearances in World Cup knockout matches, underlining his extraordinary longevity on football's biggest stage.
00:55Despite missing an early penalty, Messi refused to let his head drop and was the heart of Argentina's fight back,
01:03once again demonstrating why he remains the focal point of Lionel Scallion's side.
01:12His performance has been described as magic after he dragged Argentina back from the brink of elimination.
01:20They were 2-0 down with just 18 minutes remaining.
01:24With Argentina now through to the quarter-finals, Messi continues to write history books, strengthening his case as the greatest
01:32player the game has ever seen,
01:34while keeping alive hopes of another World Cup triumph for his South American side Argentina.
