Lionel Messi’s goal against Bolivia on Wednesday, means he has become only the second Argentina player in history, to score 50 international goals.
The Barcelona superstar struck in the 30th minute of the 2018 World Cup qualifier at the Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes, to reach half a century of goals for the Albiceleste.
Only Gabriel Batistuta has ever achieved the feat before. The former Fiorentina striker ended his international carer with 54 goals in 78 matches.
Messi now needs to score one more, to reach 500 career goals for club and country, as his current record for Barca and Argentina stands at 499.
The 28-year-old’s next game is Saturday’s El Clasico at the Nou Camp.
