Patrick Mahomes had the greatest reaction to Lionel Messi’s hat trick in Kansas City

With the match taking place at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., one of the many fans in attendance was the Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback Mahomes. It was a fitting opportunity for Mahomes, whose Chiefs play their home games in the very same stadium.

In response to Messi’s breathtaking night, Mahomes had the greatest post to his X page. He simply posted three goat emojis (to signify Messi’s three goals as well to signify Messi being the greatest of all-time).

Now 38 years old, Messi already led Argentina to victory during the last World Cup in 2022 in Qatar. Now at his sixth career World Cup Messi is back for more greatness, and his hat trick on Tuesday tied the record of Germany’s Miroslav Klose for the most career goals in World Cup history (16).

As for the 30-year-old Mahomes, he is currently recovering from a torn ACL but is already putting together a similar resume in his own sport as a three-time Super Bowl MVP and a two-time NFL MVP. Mahomes, who also recently set a record with his staggering new Chiefs contract, is also a big-time fan of soccer and owns minority ownership stakes in both Sporting Kansas City (an MLS team) and the Kansas City Current (an NWSL team).
