5 World Cup records both Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi will never break

#3 Oldest goalscorer - 42 years, 1 month and 8 days (Roger Milla)

Russia v Cameroon

Roger Milla, one of the greatest players in World Cup history, broke his own record of being the oldest goalscorer in the competition when he hit the back of the net against Russia in the 1994 World Cup, aged 42. Cameroon though would end up losing the game 6-1.

Currently, Messi is aged 30 and Ronaldo is 33, meaning they would need to play at least 3 more World Cups to be able to break Milla's record. Messi already announced his international retirement once before reversing his decision and deciding to continue playing for Argentina. He has also hinted that he might walk away at the end of the FIFA World Cup 2018. Ronaldo too seems to be slowing down and there is simply no way he is going to continue playing 12 years down the line, meaning Milla's record, while it might indeed be broken somewhere down the line, it will not be by one of these 2.
