Kechinov: Messi is a brilliant footballer, continues to make history at the 2026 World Cup!

Russian ex-football player Valery Kechinov reacted to the hat-trick and brilliant performance of Argentina national team striker Lionel Messi in the 1st round match of the 2026 World Cup with Algeria (3:0). “I was impressed by Messi. No one expected that at that age you could play at such a level at the World Cup and be the leader of one of the best teams. Pleasantly surprised. I'm one of those who was shocked by his performance. At 39 years old, show this at the World Championships? There aren't even words. I saw it and was stunned. Nobody expected such a result from Messi. In general, I thought that he would start the match with Algeria on the bench. This is a phenomenon. Messi is a brilliant footballer and continues to make history at the World Cup! This is worth a lot,” Kechinov said in a conversation with “Championship” correspondent Nikolai Baranov.
