Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni said it was “hard to explain” the genius of Lionel Messi after his superstar equalled the all-time record of 16 goals at World Cups against Algeria on Tuesday.

“About Leo, it’s quite hard to explain,” Scaloni said at his post-match press conference. “We are amazed with him still, although we get to see him on a daily basis and he’s been the best for 20 years, he still pulls it off every single match.
