Lionel Messi has been warned by Cristiano Ronaldo after ... (Daily Express)

COMMENT: Lionel Messi must heed the warning he has been given by Cristiano Ronaldo after Argentina's World Cup victory.

It was the strength of all fighting for the same dream that was also the dream of all Argentines and we did it! While that does not undo all the great things Ronaldo has done for his country, the final image of him at a World Cup was a sad one. He has scored 98 goals for his country during his incredible career so there is an obvious target to reach for there. “We need to save him a spot for the World Cup 2026,” said Scaloni. As a full stop to an international career that is impossible to top. Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni made a point of leaving the door open for Messi to keep going until 2026 in North America.

Lionel Messi breaks Cristiano Ronaldo's record...on Instagram! (AS English)

In addition to breaking a host of World Cup records on the field, Argentina captain Lionel Messi has also broke one on Instagram.

And to make matters worse, he can now no longer boast the most-liked sports-related post on Instagram? [world_record_egg (if you’re not familiar with it, it’s just a picture of an egg on a white background. Cristiano Ronaldo hasn’t had a great few months, what with being dropped at Manchester United then having his contract ripped up, being dropped by Portugal and then failing in his last attempt to win the World Cup. And you’ll never guess who held one of the previous records that has been broken… In true Messi fashion, the Paris Saint-Germain superstar has broken a number of records along the way. And if those on-field records weren’t enough, Messi has also broken a new one off the field.

The match was going to penalties until PSG's new star, [Kylian Mbappe](/topic/kylian-mbappe), scored twice to seal the deal for his team.

Ronaldo isn’t so sure having previously suggested a World Cup win for either wouldn’t be the defining point in the age-old discussion. But obviously a World Cup on the shelf wouldn’t be bad. He will never admit to it, but there must have been more than a tinge of envy from Ronaldo, who a week previous, left the World Cup stage in tears. At 35 and 37 respectively, it feels inevitable that the World Cup in [Qatar](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/qatar) will be the great rivals’ last. The tournament’s defining image will be of Messi finally realising his international ambition, and in doing so completing football’s ‘Grand Slam’. Last minute you score a third for your hat-trick…is that the dream?”
