Messi Hits Hat-Trick to Complete 100 Career Goals

Lionel Messi hit his 100 career goal for World Cup champions Argentina on Tuesday. He scored a hat-trick in Argentina’s 7-0 friendly win over Curacao.

Messi is third on the all-time list of top international goal scorers, whereas Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo stands first with 122. Iran’s Ali Daei is in second position with 109 goals.

“We will never stop celebrating and I think it’s fair and deserved,” Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni told.

“I hope there will be more (Messi goals), he deserves all the praise and it’s good that these goals had been on Argentine soil, that has a special value too,” he added.
