Messi Outperformed Pelek

The match against Brazil will surpass the Brazilian legend - that was the hope of millions of fans around the world. But the Brazil-Argentina Super Classico match did not end on Sunday due to unforeseen reasons. That is why Messi could not surpass Pelek.

However, the Argentine magician did not prolong the wait even though it was not that day. In their next match against Bolivia, they surpassed the Brazilian legend Pel. What a great hat trick. Messi (69) is now the highest international goal scorer in Latin America.

Messi picked up his seventh international and 55th hat-trick of all time by scoring three goals in a row at El Monumental on Friday morning. All in all, after almost 19 months and 72 matches, Messi saw a hat-trick.

                                                                     

                                                                                 

And with this hat-trick, Messi has broken the record of 8 goals set by Pel in international football. Messi, who started the match against Bolivia with 6 goals, currently has 69 goals. No other footballer has scored more goals in the Latin region than Messi.

However, overall, Messi is far behind in international goals. Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi's eternal rival, tops the list. He has scored 111 goals. Ali Dai of Iran is another footballer who has scored more than 100 goals.

                                                                                     

He was the only footballer to win three World Cups, scoring six goals in 92 appearances in his career from 1956 to 1971. It took the Messi 153 matches to break of the record. It remains to be seen where Messi will break the record.
