“Messi, Messi, Messi …” This is the cry that is repeated by most in El Sadar and is accompanied by bowing. Leo is on the lawn, obsessed with adding blue and white smiles. It doesn’t matter that it’s an unrelated friendship against a moderate rival like Estonia, 110th in the FIFA rankings. There’s the captain with a novice spirit, looking for more and more. Goal here, aim there … Five goals out of 10 for Argentina to win 5-0 and stretch his unbeaten record to 33 games.
Leo was one of the three who started which includes Lionel Scaloni, along with Nahuel Molina and Rodrigo De Paul. DT tried for the World Cup. Marcos Senesi made his debut (he said “no” in Italy) in the second half.
all left covered by a hungry Messi, who refuses to come out. From a penalty, quickly, he broke the tie. At the end of the first period, he entered from the right, took advantage of an assist from Papu Gómez and nailed it at an angle.
There was more. At the start of the second period, Leo came out as “9” and pushed it with his left foot. Later, he passed the goalkeeper and a defender and touched the empty goal with his right foot. Eventually, after several failed attempts by his teammates, he decided to use his left foot.
This is Messi: changing an anecdotal against a historical one. No one in the albiceleste has had five goals in a match since José Manuel Moreno in the 1942 Copa América against Ecuador.
