From retirement to records - another immortal Messi moment

Lionel Messi scored two goals for Argentina against Guatemala on June 14, 2024, in a friendly match, marking a significant moment ten years after his initial retirement from international football. This performance brought his international goal tally to 108, placing him third on the all-time list of male international goalscorers. The match, which Argentina won 4-1, was played at FedExField in Landover, Maryland. Messi's resurgence and continued record-breaking achievements underscore his enduring impact on the sport, even a decade after he briefly stepped away from the national team following Argentina's loss in the 2014 World Cup final. His current international goal count is surpassed only by Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal and Ali Daei of Iran. This latest milestone further solidifies Messi's legacy as one of football's greatest players.
