Verdict: Miss

Spanien gewann das WM-Finale 2026 am 19. Juli im MetLife Stadium mit 1:0 gegen Argentinien (Tor: Ferran Torres, 106. Minute, Verlängerung). Messi erzielte kein Tor – er kam auf lediglich 54 Ballkontakte und einen einzigen Torschuss. Argentinien spielte ab der zweiten Halbzeit in Unterzahl (Rote Karte Enzo Fernández). Spanien erstickte Messis Einfluss taktisch konsequent. Quellen: ESPN (Spielbericht), FIFA.com (offizielle Match-Statistik), Yahoo Sports/NBC News (Spielberichte).
