Messi Scores 100 International goals

Lionel Messi has hit another milestone in becoming the third player to surpass 100 international goals.

The 35-year-old grabbed a hat-trick in his side’s seven goals demolition of Curacao in a friendly on Tuesday.

Messi’s three-goal haul takes his tally to 102.

The Paris Saint-Germain player passed the 109-goal mark in his 174th appearance for his country.

He had scored his 99th international goal and his 800th of his career in a 2-0 win against Panama last Thursday.

Messi, however, remains third on the men’s leading international scorers chart behind Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo, who is now on 120 goals and Iran’s Ali Daei, who scored 109 before retiring in 2007.
