Analysis Summary
Messi actually scored his 18th World Cup goal in the Austria match on June 22, 2026 — breaking the all-time record outright. He's now the top goalscorer in World Cup history, ahead of Miroslav Klose's 16 men's goals and Marta's 17 Women's World Cup goals. With his two-goal performance, Messi moved past both records and sits alone at the top of the all-time list across both men's and women's tournaments.

“Marta did it first.”
Marta holds the previous record with 17 World Cup goals in the Women's World Cup. All sources confirm this.
