Argentina beat Austria 2-0 in Dallas, and Messi&#8217;s two goals made him overtake Miroslav Klose as the tournament&#8217;s all-time top scorer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">The soccer icon achieved a total of 17 wins, including five in two games in North America, leading the race for the Golden Boot. Argentina are all but certain to win Group J and will face a round of 32 opponents in Messi&#8217;s home base of Miami.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Messi admitted that while his blockbuster start to the final was great, it came at a high cost. Messi, who also missed a penalty kick in the first half, said, &#8220;I&#8217;m tired and I&#8217;m running on fumes. It&#8217;s hard to think.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;But I&#8217;m enjoying the moment and looking forward to being with my teammates. It was spectacular how it all unfolded.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;I had a penalty, so I could have scored more. But maybe other players didn&#8217;t come, you never know. I&#8217;m happy with the team.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Teammate Julian Alvarez insisted that Messi continues to prove that he is the undisputed GOAT of football. And Messi&#8217;s &#8216;magic&#8217; gave the defending champions true belief that they could continue to retain their title.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;He continues to prove that even at this age he has the talent and all the magic. There&#8217;s not much to say, everyone admits it, but he&#8217;s the best in the world,&#8221; Alvarez said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;This gives us peace of mind about what&#8217;s to come.
