Just as he has done countless times in the last decade, Leo Messi managed to amaze the world of football, adding last night (Sunday) another tremendous five to his busy resume in the friendly 0: 5 of the Argentine national team against Estonia.
The Flea, who completed a hat-trick in just 47 minutes, closed the evening with a historic five in the Albiceleste uniform and a second in his career, scoring 86 international goals along the way.

Messi, who became the third overall to score a five in the Argentina uniform, became even after the whistle the hero of the night when the compliments were poured out from all directions.
"I really think we could not have finished the season better and we added more minutes of preparation for the World Cup," Messi wrote on the networks shortly after the game, "Thank you to everyone who came to the field and who follows our games from a distance.
Messi is the THANK YOU player in TODA the history of the selection of Argentina that marks CINCO goals in one match:
▪️ Juan Andrés Marvezzi (in 1941) in Ecuador (Copa América)
▪️ José Manuel Moreno (in 1942) in Ecuador (Copa América)
▪️ LIONEL MESSI (in 2022) in Estonia (amistoso) pic.twitter.com/VJ23BH2Yxw

At the end of the game, coach Lionel Scaloni was also left speechless: "There really are no words left to describe Messi. He is something special, we were privileged to have him and a pleasure to coach him at any moment on the pitch. He is the legacy of world football. "This is a living legend."
The local media also flattered Flea, when the Argentine "Ola" wrote: "Leo Messi always wants more. Nothing would have happened if he had given up this game and vacation with his family, but it's just not Messi. He did not even think of anything. "Messi is an even greater role model and role model than Maradona."
