Lionel Messi delivered yet another iconic performance on the international stage for Argentina, lifting La Albiceleste to a 6–0 victory over Bolivia with a hat trick and two assists—while also slightly teasing retirement from his national team.
It was his first goal for Argentina since the Copa América semi final victory over Canada and just his second appearance for the team after he went off injured in the final of that tournament vs. Colombia on July 14.
