Emotional evening for Lionel Messi (34).
★★★
The Argentine broke the 50-year record set by the Brazilian legend Pelé (78). The eternal and significant goal record in South America.
Pelé, who for many best footballers of all time, scored 77 international goals for Brazil in his great career. Now he has to admit defeat to Messi.
In the World Cup qualifying game against Bolivia in Buenos Aires, Messi scored all three goals in a 3-0 win.
His goals number 77 to 79 for Argentina – so he leaves Pelé behind.
Messi: “I really wanted to enjoy it. I’ve waited a long time for it, I’ve looked for it and dreamed of it. “
And further: “There is no better way to celebrate than to be here. My mother is here, my siblings in the stands. They suffered a lot and today they are here celebrating. “

Messi cried uncontrollably during a TV interview after the game – so great the joy of his new record. The Paris superstar: “I am very happy.”
The most dangerous national player in history is Cristiano Ronaldo with 111 goals in the jersey of the Portuguese national team. He is followed by the former Iranian Bundesliga professional Ali Daei and the Malaysian Mokhtar Dahari.
