World Cup 2026: Put Messi’s name in dictionary, records chase him – Thierry Henry

Arsenal legend, Theirry Henry, has called for Argentina captain Lionel Messi’s name to be put in the dictionary.

According to Henry, records chase Messi, adding that he is playing the ongoing FIFA World Cup tournament with joy.

The Frenchman said this after Messi scored a brace in Argentina’s World Cup 2-0 win over Austria on Monday.

“This guy doesn’t chase records, records chase him. They should put his name in the dictionary,” Henry said on Fox studio after Argentina defeated Austria.

“He always wants more. He is playing the World Cup with joy; he is very relaxed. You see that from his celebrations.”

Messi will now hope to lead Argentina to victory when they face Jordan in their last World Cup fixture in the coming days.
