The party that Argentina organized for its national team to celebrate the World Cup title achieved in Qatar had a special prize for Lionel Messi, who passed the 100-goal barrier by scoring one goal against Panama and three against Curacao, reaching 102 goals with the Albiceleste.
The Argentine is the third player to reach that figure after Iran's Ali Daei (109) and Cristiano Ronaldo, who has 122 goals for Portugal.
