Argentina is the defending champion after winning in Qatar in 2022 and is chasing the first back to back World Cup titles since Brazil in 1962. Messi needs four more goals to surpass Germany's Miroslav Klose and his all time World Cup record of 16. He has been dealing with muscle fatigue and a hamstring strain that led to his substitution during Inter Miami's final match before the tournament, and he sat out Argentina's friendly against Honduras in hopes of being ready for the group stage.
