Lionel Messi, a forward for Paris Saint-Germain and Argentina captain, scored his 100th international goal on Tuesday to join former Manchester United striker Cristiano Ronaldo in an exclusive club.
Before the recent international friendlies against Panama and Curacao, Messi had scored 98 goals for Argentina. In the 2-0 victory over Panama, the 35-year-old scored once, putting him agonizingly close to the 100 clubs.
However, he now has 102 international goals thanks to his hat trick against a Curacao team that was comfortably second-best. On the list of all-time international goal scorers, he is trailed only by Ronaldo and retired Iranian forward Ali Dae i, who scored 109 goals.
