Lionel Messi could break a few records when Argentina play Panama on Thursday.

Messi could add a few records to his name when the Argentina national team play Panama. The first is reaching 800 career goals.

The Argentine World Cup winner is presently on 799 career goals and one more would bring him to 800. The second record is one with the Argentina national team.

He is presently on 98 goals with Argentina and two more would get him to 100 goals with his country. A third record is that of hat tricks.

If Messi scores a hat trick, he will reach 50 hat tricks in his career. And the last record would be that of the four goals.

He has scored five goals in a match with Argentina but has never ended a match with only four goals. Should Messi score four goals and not five, he will have scored his first poker with Argentina.

“It’s crazy what people are doing, what happened with Leo the other day at the restaurant… The people are very happy and we have to enjoy it. Let’s hope that tomorrow will be a beautiful day, that people come in calmly and that it’s a nice celebration, that nothing serious will happen.

“Every time I come here, it’s a great joy. Every moment fills your heart, it is the most beautiful place you can be in.

Speaking to the media, here is what he had to say:

The World Cup winner had this to say about Argentina’s match against Panama on Thursday:

“I’m a little anxious. It’s not a match with that much relevance but I’m giving it a lot more value than others or at least that is what it generates in me. I’m going to try to enjoy it from early on and also to pass it on to the fans.

“I remember my first match and being here today with the Copa America, Finalissima and World Cup is crazy. The love from the whole country and the people crying is incredible. Tomorrow will cause me to be emotional, how the Monumental will be.”
