Brazil in 1962.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the process, Messi became the oldest player to score a World Cup hat-trick at 38 years and 357 days old, breaking the record previously held by Cristiano Ronaldo (33 years and 130 days) for Portugal against Spain at the 2018 World Cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, he\u2019s the oldest player to score multiple goals in a game since Roger Milla back in
