Zlatan Ibrahimovic: Messi's five goals and my two in the World Cup 0
Zlatan Ibrahimovic has praised Lionel Messi's stellar performance at the World Cup 2026, in which Messi has scored five goals in two matches.
Former Swedish footballer Zlatan Ibrahimovic shares his opinion on Argentina captain Lionel Messi's performance at the World Cup 2026 on FOX. Ibrahimovic spoke about Messi's play after the match against Austria, where Messi scored a late double despite missing a penalty. He said, "There's no doubt about it. Sometimes Messi looks like he's human when he misses a penalty, but then there are those moments when he doesn't look like a human at all! This is Messi. He already has five goals in two games in this World Cup, and he hasn't played a game against Jordan yet, so I don't know where it will end. He has five goals in two games, while I have 0 goals in two World Cups. I'm rooting for him." "I'm happy for him and I hope he continues this trend. It's his birthday in a few days, so he should enjoy it because we all enjoy his game. He's amazing... there are no words," Ibrahimovic said on FOX. Currently, Lionel Messi is leading the race for the Golden Boot in the World Cup 2026 with five goals. Argentina have made it to the knockout stage of the World Cup 2026 and will play their final group stage match against Jordan on June 28.
