Gary Lineker is a big fan of Lionel Messi. The former English striker made no attempt to hide it. Whenever Messi did something incredible, Lineker would happily take him to Twitter. He caressed Jesus Christ and called him 'Messiah'. Last night, Messi forced him to say 'Messia' once again. The captain of Albiceleste has set a record for all five goals scored by Argentina against Estonia .
Gary Lineker tweeted after Messi's goal, "It's great, Messi has scored all five of Argentina's goals today. Surprisingly, the ability to score goals does not put him ahead of other legends. This game is played in the case of passing or dribbling - anyone who can compete. Messiah. '
With five goals against Estonia yesterday, Messi turned many pages of the record upside down, scoring a hat-trick in 48 minutes. In it, 61-year-old Ferenc Puskas sits next to a record. However, Messi did not agree to stay with Puskas, who scored 64 goals in 65 matches for Hungary. The Argentine captain, who scored against 30th country in international football, scored two more goals in half an hour. Messi now has 6 goals in international football. There are only three in front of him now.
Who doesn't say that at first. There is no harm in saying again, Cristiano Ronaldo (116 goals). Two of the two and three Asians. Ronaldo broke the record of Ali Daiyir (109) of Iran, who holds the record for most goals for a long time, and Mokhtar Dahari (69) of Malaysia.
Messi's pushing Puskas back is the first thing that comes to mind. On the other hand, Messi has surpassed Pel. Until yesterday, Messi has scored 69th goal in professional football. Pel had 6 recognized goals. In other words, he has surpassed Puskas in international football and Pelলে in professional football by scoring the fourth goal yesterday. And the fifth goal is history.
Messi scored five goals for the second time yesterday in his professional career. The first incident happened 10 years ago. In the 2012 Champions League, Barcelona beat Bayer Leverkusen 6-1 at home in the last 16. Messi did all five of them. Club football has a record of scoring more goals in a single match. The national team also has a record of 13 goals in one match. But in both cases five goals in one match? This fame Messi is unique.
Messi has become unique in another place tomorrow. He has scored 69 goals in professional football and 331 more with his teammates. In other words, he contributed 1100 goals in all. Messi was the first player to contribute 1100 goals. There will be no prize in any quiz for saying the name of the two. Everyone knows the name, Cristiano Ronaldo (1045). However, Ronaldo's contribution in 1121 matches. And in the case of Messi 984 matches 1100!
Mo Salah, who is in the Ballon d'Or discussion, can be cited as an example to show how incredible the fame is. Salah has scored 36 goals and conceded 13 goals for Liverpool and the national team Egypt this season. That is, 49 contributions to the goal. If he wants to get close to Messi, he will have to spend 22 consecutive years in such a season!
Messi's teammate Nico Gonzalez didn't just say, 'Incredible, he has magnets on his legs! One day at a time, he showed us more surprises. He is Argentine , it is a matter of joy. '
