La Pulga is one goal away from 77 goals with the Argentina National Team shirt, the same amount that the Brazilian star achieved with Brazil.
Lionel Messi, historical top scorer of the Argentine National Team, is one step away from reaching an iconic mark from Pelé, the most important player in the history of Brazil. The Rosario star can achieve it against Bolivia, this Thursday at the Monumental, in the qualifying duel heading to the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
La Pulga, emblem and captain of the national team, has scored 76 goals for La Albiceleste: He is one of O Rei, who scored 77 with the Brazilian team jersey.
At the same time, Messi can reach him as the top scorer among the eight world champion teams. So far, Pelé leads that table, followed by Rosario (76 goals), German Miroslav Klose (71), Uruguayan Luis Suárez (64), Spanish David Villa (59) and English Wayne Rooney (53).
For his part, Neymar, Brazilian star and reference of Verdeamarela, is also still in the race: He has 67 goals and dreams of reaching the emblematic mark of Pelé, the great idol of Brazil.

Pelé has been hospitalized for six days at the prestigious Albert Einstein Hospital in the city of São Paulo, Brazil, where he had to be operated on last Saturday for a “suspicious lesion in the right colon”, as confirmed in recent hours by the former footballer himself through a message on his social networks.
