Many wondered why Lionel Messi would play this match against Estonia. And the response was overwhelming. It is that, this afternoon in Pamplona, ​​the 10 of the Argentine national team made history (how many times do we write this sentence?) By equaling a record that was 80 years old and positioning themselves higher among the historical scorers of the entire National Teams.

At PSG’s 30th he scored five goals (re-poker, it is said in Spain) in Argentina’s victory against the Northern European team in a situation that had two very distant antecedents.

Juan Marvezzy was the first to score five goals for Argentina on February 16, 1941, in Ecuador’s 6-1 defeat to South American Chile. A year later, in January 1942, Charro Moreno did the same with a 12-0 win, again on the team led today by Gustavo Alfaro.

Furthermore, Leo has surpassed the mythological Puskás among the historical scorers of the national teams. Messi has reached 86 goals for the Azzurri and has already taken 32 from the second, Gabriel Batistuta. But in addition, he overtook Ferenc Puskas and is fourth among the top scorers of the national teams. In front of Cristian Ronaldo (Portugal), 115 in 188 games; Ali Dael (Iran), 109 in 149; and Mokhtar Dahari (Malaysia), 89 out of 143. Lionel has 86 out of 162. In fifth place was Puskas, who scored 84 goals in 89 games
