Lionel Messi commented on the Argentina national team matches after scoring five goals against Estonia.

Messi scored five goals for the Argentina national team in their 5-0 win vs. Estonia on Sunday. Having won the Finalissima on Wednesday, Messi and Argentina are now undefeated in 33 matches.

The Argentine took to Instagram to comment on it. Here is what he had to say:

“We couldn’t have ended the season any better. Winning the Finalissima and adding more minutes to prepare for the World Cup. Thanks again to everyone who came to the pitch and those following us from a distance. We are taking a break for a few days and will be back soon! Hugs to all.”

Lionel Messi scored what is a record five goals in one match for the Argentina national team in their 5-0 win vs. Estonia.

It was a first half which saw a very fluid Argentina. German Pezzella was fouled inside the penalty area as Argentina were awarded a penalty.

Messi would score the penalty, going to the goalkeeper’s left as he reached 82 goals for Argentina. He could have had a few assists but Joaquin Correa missed a clear chance in front of goal which would have been offside and Marcos Acuna missed a chance to make it 2-0 for Argentina.

A few minutes before half time, Rodrigo De Paul would run towards the Estonian back line as he would play a pass to Papu Gomez. He would pass it to Messi as the Argentine placed the ball into the top corner for to make it 2-0, his second goal of the match.

The second half would bring two more Lionel Messi goals. A great team play as Molina would cross it into the penalty area for Messi and with a number 9 like instinct, would score his hat trick!

On three goals, it was not eight hat tricks for Lionel Messi with the Argentina national team! He has now scored hattricks against Switzerland, Brazil, Guatemala, Panama, Ecuador, Haiti, Bolivia and Estonia.

At three goals, Messi would make it four. He would get onto a loose ball and dribble towards the penalty area. He would beat his defender and goalkeeper and score to make it four goals for him and 4-0 for Argentina.

But Lionel Messi was not done. Several efforts in the penalty area would be saved by the goalkeeper and once more, the ball would land to Messi. And he would score to make it 5-0 for the Copa America and Finalissima champions. Messi has now scored 86 goals for the Argentina national team.

Argentina are now undefeated in 33 matches.

Alejandro Garnacho scored twice for the Argentina U20 team in their 6-2 loss vs. France.

Garnacho has now scored Argentina’s last three matches at the Toulon tournament, as he scored twice on Saturday. It was a match to forget for Javier Mascherano and his U20 team. After winning their opening two matches, the team now find themselves second in the group with six points.

With France leading 5-0, Argentina were awarded a free kick and it was Alejandro Garnacho who would take it. A very well placed free kick by the Argentine as he scored to put Argentina on the scoresheet.

France, who had players born in 2001 and 2002, would score another and at 6-1, Mascherano’s team were awarded a penalty with Garnacho taking it and scoring.

Javier Mascherano’s team now have to wait for the other matches to see if they qualify for the semi finals and who their opponents would be in that match. Mascherano started these players:

Francisco Gomez
Brian Aguilar
Lautaro Di Lollo
Nahuel Genez
Franco Carboni
Maximiliano Gonzalez
Gino Infantino
Matías Soulé
Mateo Sanabria
Luka Romero
Alejandro Garnacho

Argentina had players born in 2003 and 2004, a team younger than the team France brought to the tournament.
