Mark LangdonHead of sport content at Spotlight Sports GroupLionel Messi at 16-1 should go well and it’s certainly an attractive price for arguably the greatest player in the history of the game.Argentina have a nice group in with Poland, Mexico and Saudi Arabia and will be looking to reach the latter stages given the quality in their ranks, headed by Messi, who scored all five goals in a friendly against Estonia in June.The Paris St-Germain superstar, who has looked so much better for his club this season compared to last, was the joint-top scorer at the 2021 Copa America with four goals (he also had five assists) and he took on plenty of responsibility with a tournament-high 18 shots.Chris RiversSports journalist at Racing PostOdds of 16-1 on Lionel Messi finishing as the top scorer at the World Cup appear generous given his track record and form for Paris Saint-Germain this season. The 35-year-old has looked far sharper for PSG this term than in his maiden campaign, going into September’s international break having registered six goals and eight assists across 11 outings.Messi was superb at his last international tournament when guiding Argentina to Copa America glory last summer and finished up with the Golden Boot at that tournament. He has a great chance to add to his tally of six World Cup goals against weak group opposition and is a serious contender.
