Lionel Messi scored an incredible five goals for Argentina against Estonia in a friendly on Sunday night.
Just days after inspiring his nation to Finalissima glory against Italy in Europe, Messi terrorised another European side by scoring all five goals in a 5-0 victory.
What a performance.
He opened the scoring after eight minutes from the penalty spot, smashing the ball into the bottom corner past Matvei Igonen.
On the stroke of half time, he made it 2-0 with a brilliant finish from a tight angle.
Minutes after the break, he completed his hat-trick with a beautiful volley from a Nahuel Molina cross.
But Messi wasn’t finished there.
With 20 minutes remaining, he scored his fourth to make it 4-0 in bizarre circumstances.
Estonia’s defence thought the referee had blown his whistle and appeared to stop as the ball fell to Messi. But Messi didn’t stop as he calmly sat the goalkeeper on the floor before finishing.
Minutes later, the ball fell to him kindly inside the penalty area and he finished for the FIFTH time.
The significance of those five goals means that Messi has now moved up to fourth in the list of top international men's football goal scorers.
But now, he's overtaken Ferenc Puskás in the list of international goalscorers into fourth.
Messi is still a little way behind Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored two himself on Sunday night against Switzerland.

3. Mokhtar Dahari - Malaysia (89 goals)
2. Ali Daei - Iran (109 goals)
- Cristiano Ronaldo - Portugal (117 goals)
So, despite his five-goal haul Messi only moved three goals closer to Ronaldo after his brace. The Portuguese superstar is now 31 goals clear of the Argentine.
But Messi will now be setting his sights on Dahari's tally of 89 goals for Malaysia. It wouldn't be a surprise to see him do that before the World Cup as Argentina look to compete for the biggest prize of them all in Qatar.
With Messi in this kind of form, it would take a brave man to bet against La Albiceleste going all the way.
