The forward's scoring performance equalled his career best between club and country for a single match, tying the mark he set in the Champions League against Bayer Leverkusen in 2012.
Messi has enjoyed a fantastic couple of weeks for the Albiceleste, as he played a lead role in their Finalissima victory over Italy last Wednesday. He now has 86 international goals to his name.
His first-ever international goal was against Croatia in 2006 in an international friendly match in which Argentina lost 3-2. In his long and illustrious international career, Messi has netted seven international hat-tricks, including one against Brazil.
