Antonio Carbajal – Mexico (1950, 1954, 1958, 1962 Y 1966)
The first to achieve it was a player from Mexico, a fact that is still curious because Mexico does not usually transcend after the quarterfinals in the World Cups.
And it is even more special if one considers that in all these World Cups qualifiers were played and Mexico was not local, so Carbajal always had to sweat to play five World Cups.
Lothar Matthäus – Germany (1982, 1986, 1990, 1994 Y 1998)

Gianluigi Buffon – Italy (1998*, 2002, 2006, 2010 Y 2014)
This Italian goalkeeper is a true legend who is not only considered one of the best italian players, but he is one of the best goalkeepers in history.

Rafael Marquez – Mexico (2002, 2006, 2010, 2014, 2018)

Cristiano Ronaldo – Portugal (2006, 2010, 2014, 2018 Y 2022)
In just his first World Cup, Cristiano Ronaldo was decisive for Portugal to obtain fourth place. Since then he hasn't gotten that far, but in russia 2018 gave away one of the best moments in World Cup history scoring a Hat Trick vs Spain.

If he plays at least three more games, Messi will be the Argentinian with the most World Cup matches, surpassing Maradona. And if he reaches at least the semifinals and plays all the games, will be the player with the most appearances in World Cups.
If you achieve all this, the rivalry between Messi and Cristiano in the World Cups it will be more uneven.
Andres Guardado – Mexico (2006, 2010, 2014, 2018 Y 2022)
