Messi has just made his 22nd appearance in the World Cup finals
Currently, Matthaus is leading the all-time ranking with 25 games, followed by Miroslav Klose with 24 and Paolo Maldini with 23. Messi needs to play 3 more games to be able to equal Matthaus's record, he needs 4 more games to become the man with the most appearances.
In front of Messi is the match in the 1/8 round with Australia, if he plays, he will equal 23 matches with Paolo Maldini. In the event that Argentina overcomes Australia to enter the quarterfinals, they can meet the Netherlands, who will face the US in the round of 16. In the quarterfinals, Messi will equal the record of 24 matches with Miroslav Klose.
In the event that Argentina overcomes the Netherlands or the United States in the quarterfinals, they will advance to the semi-finals. And then Messi will have his 25th appearance, equaling the achievement of Matthaus. They will most likely encounter Brazil in the round for the four strongest teams.
Selecao is highly appreciated, but Messi and his teammates have a chance to reach the final. If Argentina plays the last match, Messi will have his 26th match and become the person with the most appearances in the history of the World Cup finals.
