The captain of the world champion team can reach a historic figure tonight if he scores two goals. I know the details.
After fulfilling the dream of winning the World Cup, Lionel Messi will be able to celebrate it on Thursday with the Argentine fans in their first home game after the consecration in Qatar last year.
More than 80,000 people will attend the Most Monumental Stadium to see the ‘albiceleste’ team play a friendly against Panama and raise the world Cup.
But also, Messi he is before the gates of an unprecedented milestone: if he scores two goals, he will reach the figure of 100 goals wearing the national colors. While if he only scored one goal, he would reach 800 goals in his professional career.
Although many would have seen winning the biggest trophy in world football as the perfect note on which to end an illustrious international career, the 35-year-old “Flea” has decided he has more to give for his country.
“Leo (Messi) is well”declared the Argentine coach, lionel scaloni. “Until he says otherwise, he will continue to come (…) I think he is happy on a field, he is happy being in the national team”said the DT.
