Messi Scores Five as Argentina Thrash Estonia
Record-breaking Feat for Argentine Master
Barcelona Star Nets Quintuple in Pamplona Friendly
In a stunning display of footballing brilliance, Lionel Messi single-handedly led Argentina to a resounding 5-0 victory over Estonia in a friendly encounter on Sunday in Pamplona, Spain. The Barcelona star put on a virtuoso performance, scoring all five goals for the Albiceleste, a feat he has achieved only once before in his illustrious career.
Messi's goals came in waves, with two in the first half and three in the second. His first goal was a trademark free-kick, curling into the top corner of the net. The second was a close-range finish after a delightful assist from Angel Di Maria. After the break, Messi added three more to his tally, including two stunning volleys and a delicate chip over the Estonian goalkeeper.
The victory was Argentina's fifth in a row, continuing their impressive form under coach Lionel Scaloni. The team has now scored 21 goals in their last five matches, with 10 of them coming from Messi's boot. The Argentine captain has now taken his international goal tally to 86, just two shy of the all-time record held by former striker Gabriel Batistuta.
Messi's performance was a timely reminder of his enduring brilliance at the age of 35. The Barcelona legend is widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time, and his latest achievement further cements his place in the pantheon of the game.
