Lionel Messi has surpassed Pele on the international goals scoresheet.
Lionel Messi has scored his 79th international career goal for Argentina, surpassing the South American men's record held by Brazil legend Pele.

Messi scored all three goals in Argentina's 3-0 win over Bolivia on Thursday in a World Cup qualifying match at the Monumental stadium in Buenos Aires, giving him two more than Pele, who had 77 career goals in international play.

Messi trails Brazilian duo Marta (109) and Cristiane (96) for the overall record for most goals scored by any South American player at the international level.

Third on the men's list is Messi's Paris Saint-Germain teammate Neymar, who has 68 international goals for Brazil.

With 26 goals in World Cup qualifying matches, Messi also passes Uruguay star Luis Suarez -- his former teammate at Barcelona -- for most among CONMEBOL players.

With eight career goals vs. Bolivia in 11 games, it is Messi's most goals against a single opponent while donning the Argentina shirt.

Messi is also his country's all-time leading scorer, having moved past Gabriel Batistuta (54 goals) in 2016. He is also Argentina's most capped player, with Thursday's match against Bolivia marking his 153nd international appearance.

Messi, 34, won his first senior international football title this summer at the 2021 Copa America in a 1-0 win over Brazil.

Prior to that win at the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, Messi had lost four major finals with Argentina's senior side. They were beaten by Germany in the 2014 World Cup final and had lost in the final at the Copa America in 2007, 2015 and 2016.

He had won the under-20 World Cup in 2005 and an Olympic gold medal with Argentina's U23s in 2008.

Messi joined PSG over the summer on a shock free-agent move after two decades with Barcelona. Messi had been with Barcelona since 2001, joining the academy the year before.

Messi played 778 games at Barcelona, breaking Xavi Hernandez's appearance record in the 2020-21 season. In addition, he scored 672 goals, another club record, and helped Barca win, among other trophies, 10 La Liga titles and the Champions League on four occasions.

Big congratulations to the GOAT.

A mesmerizing performance. Messi is not just about goals, if you watched the match you'd see jawdropping displays allover the pitch outside the goals he scored. That is what it means to be the GOAT a quality which Maradona and Pele also embody.

A 7th Ballon D'or awaits you later this year to further pepper dem dimwitted haters.

Natural441:


Pendu fans we always be pain,see as this one dey cry, Messi hat-trick don pass there Ronaldo own,go check as you check boliva rank, you will be pain more, nonsense ingredients Ronaldo score 2goals in this break qualifier and Messi the goat score hat-trick choose your goat wisely

Kilishihunter:

Can't you see our extinguished penaldian wailing all over this thread, To see any player as versatile and consistent as Messi (not only talking goals) would be hard honestly, See beautiful football

Kingcalls:


In ur dreams ... like I said previously, u want them to dash him balon dor ontop Bolivia ...u are a joker .... whr was he against Colombia and Brazil?? Even Venezuela in his last match, he was ghosting around ... no one is a fool ,expect u minions ... thats y he joined French league so that he can be boliviaing there decieving mumu fans ... let him play quality teams and he will be exposed .. when last did messi score to win a quality team?? Mayb 2 seasons ago ..he has failed to score in an el classico since 2018 ...he hasn't scored atletico in 2 seasons , neither has he scored Brazil, the only real team in South America for many years....for those that don't know, half of messis international goals are from friendlies while Ronaldo has only 10 % of his international goals in friendlies

ThierryJay:


Good to know you agree your position in the dimwitted haters category. Even though I have told you not to ever quote me again with your cretinous ramblings, I will indulge you this one time. Your wailings are so sweet and pls keep them tears coming. 6 is already greater than 5 and when Messi lands his 7th Ballon Dor, pls feel free to hug a transformer if you can't bear it.

Let me even address some of your daft comments:

Where was Messi against Colombia? - Didn't he provide Lautaro with the assist for Argentina's solitary goal. Without Messi, Argentina would have lost that match. Was Messi not the tournament's best player which your CR has never even achieved in his life or do you think golden balls are given to players who ghost around.

He was ghosting against Venezuela? - Where you even aware that it was a miracle that he could even carry on to play that match after the career-ending studs up leg breaking tackle he suffered to his shin? Did you even hear how the global audience were baffled that Messi could even finish that match?

Performance against quality teams?- Isn't Messi the player with the most goals against R.Madrid; Has he not scored 5 goals against Brazil with many of them breathtaking while your Pendu never score shingba against Brazil; Pendu has scored only one goal against Chelsea in over 16 matches but I don't hear you yapping your hypocritical mouth about that or does that mean he isnt a great player anymore?

You are an official time-waster and I will not be replying your expected dense replies. Feel free to use the drum below for your oral excretions.

Joebayo217:
Messi and Ronaldo are both good player those of you saying against the opponent strength na Eleven player against another Eleven player I say a big congrats to Messi on this record he just break

ThierryJay:
Guys pls ignore the chronic bitterleaf up there and simply enjoy the magic from Messi today below:

Pls tell me when last Pendu has scored such a breathtaking beauty. That's what we mean by saying magical goal is different from tap-in.

Against a team that are made of farmers .....last in South America, 82 in the world

Still ranked higher than Lithuania, Andorra and Luxembourg,
Infact lemme ask you first, pendu don defeat any South American country for him life before?

ThierryJay:


Lol I agree with you and love how the extinguished transgender is squirting in pains to the point of blindness.

Even against the One hundred and fifty something ranked Faroe Islands and the likes, Pendu no dey put in such kind of consummate performance as Messi did today. Goals, Magic, Dribbles, key passes, Drive, Control name it Messi demonstrated everything on the pitch in a single match.

Which is why we tell them that being the best is beyond scoring tap-ins and penalties and claiming siu.
