Lionel Messi became his country's all-time top goalscorer yesterday when he scored in the Copa America semi-final against the United States to take his international tally to 55 goals.
The five-time world player of the year scored in the 32nd minute of the match to give Argentina a 2-0 lead. The goal in his 112th international appearance lifts him above Gabriel Batistuta, who scored 54 goals in 78 games for the two-time world champions.
