Argentina defeated Estonia in an international friendly in Spain, with Lionel Messi scoring five goals for the first time in his international career.Lionel Messi climbed the list of greatest international scorers in football history after scoring five goals against Estonia, ranked 110th, in a friendly match in Spain on Sunday, June 5. He scored twice in the first half, including a penalty conversion, and then three times in the second half.
Messi has never scored five goals in a single match for Argentina, as the 34-year-old showed signs of regaining his form ahead of the 2022 Qatar World Cup, which kicks off in November.
By any stretch of the imagination, Messi has already scored five goals in a match, against Bayer Leverkusen in the 2011/12 Champions League Round of 16.After the game, Messi took to Instagram to say that they couldn't have finished the season any better and to thank the fans who came to see the friendly in Pamplona.
"We couldn't have finished the season any better. We won the Finalissima, and today we added extra minutes to our World Cup preparation. Thank you again to everyone who came out to the field and those who watched from afar. We'll take a few days off and return as soon as possible! "Hugs to everyone," Messi said on Instagram.After an unexpected and devastating conclusion to his career at FC Barcelona, the great Argentine struggled at his new club, Paris Saint-Germain. He had a forgettable season overall, failing to deliver in the Champions League. However, Messi recently explained his dismal season in an interview, claiming that he was not in the right mental state to compete, but that he is looking forward to next season and pledging to return stronger.Messi seemed to have found form recently, scoring goals and assisting in PSG's final two match days and then carrying that success into the international team. He earned his second international trophy with two assists in the Finalissima against Italy, giving him a total of five goals.
Argentina is unbeaten in their last 33 games and has been in excellent form leading up to the World Cup.
