Lionel Messi surpassed 100 career goals for Argentina with a hattrick in the first half of the World Cup champions' 7-0 rout over Curacao Tuesday.

The 35-year-old Messi opened the scoring in the international friendly against the Caribbean team in the 20th minute with a right-foot shot from the edge of the box to reach the milestone 100.

He added his 101st for Argentina with a crossed shot to the right of the goalkeeper and 102nd after an easy run to score. Argentina was leading Curacao 5-0 at halftime, with Nico Gonzalez and Enzo Fernandez also putting their names on the scoreboard.

First time of hearing the name of this country . While CR7 is extending his goal scoring record against the likes of Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, Messi is also extending his against Curacao😂. In both cases, the countries are unknown footballing nations😏

Imagine what would happen if he had the opportunity to play Gibraltar, San Marino, Luxembourg, Andorra and liechtenstein on a regular basis...

That's goal number 803, just 29 short of Ronaldo's 833 with far lesser appearances..

Even the goal that Ronaldo is known for, Messi still does it more than him..

Someone above me is dreaming! Wake up bro, he can only play alongside his countrymen in a national game, not in dreamland

great for football

U r ryt bro.
he was not happy wen he got subbed in d world cup, only for Portugal to have a PK moments later.
That was Y he wanted to fight d coach in d next game after he got subbed ... That led to him being dropped in the next game.
