Lionel Messi is currently one goal away from setting a new record for the most goals scored in the history of the FIFA World Cup. This milestone would surpass the tally held by Miroslav Klose, which has stood since the 2014 tournament.
Reports from The Sun indicate that Klose's record has already been matched at this year's event. While the official record remains with Klose for now, coverage suggests it is expected to be surpassed before the current competition concludes.
The Indian Express also reports on Messi’s proximity to the historical goal mark, noting he requires only one further goal to claim the title. As the tournament progresses, these individual milestones are being tracked as part of the ongoing sports coverage. The transition from Klose's established record to a new high point is anticipated before the final matches take place.
