Although Lionel Messi – who celebrates his 39th birthday today – and Cristiano Ronaldo – aged 41 – show no sign of letting up on the biggest stage.
Two goals from Messi against Austria on Monday took him to 18 goals at the top of the all-time World Cup goalscoring charts. Meanwhile, Ronaldo became the first player to score at six different World Cups with a double against Uzbekistan on Tuesday.
