Lionel Messi scores five goals and equals 81-year-old record as Argentina thrash Estonia

Lionel Messi scored all five goals as Argentina hammered Estonia 5-0 in a friendly on Sunday evening.

Messi continued his hot streak for his nation, adding a fantastic five to Argentina’s victory over Italy in the Finalissima on Wednesday at Wembley Stadium. The 34-year-old was the creative maestro at Wembley, setting up two of Argentina’s three goals, but he turned goal scorer against Estonia to move onto 86 international goals in his 162nd match.

The Paris Saint-Germain star opened the score with an eighth-minute penalty in Spain and had completed his hat-trick by the 47th minute. That was Messi’s eighth international hat-trick for Argentina, but it was to get better for the playmaker.
