Another mark of legend for Messi 0:39 (CNN Spanish) — Soccer star Lionel Messi is in great shape with the Argentina team. And to prove this, it is enough to go back just a few days. On Wednesday, the albiceleste led by Messi thrashed Italy 3-0 in the “Finalissima” (played between the champions of America and Europe), and on Sunday the PSG footballer scored five goals for the first time in a single game with the selection, which moved him up the list of all-time international goalscorers. The five goals that Messi made against Estonia in a friendly match placed the star in the fourth position of international scorers, after passing the Hungarian legend Ferenc Puskás. In this context, we remember the achievements of Lio Messi with the albiceleste, just over five months before the Qatar 2022 World Cup takes place.
