Movie night
After a dreamed night at the Monumental, with the three goals against Bolivia, the tears of emotion and the celebrations with the fans for the Copa América won in Brazil, Messi left for France two hours after the match ended with his teammates from PSG, Ángel Di María and Leandro Paredes.
His team will have action this Saturday against Clermont, for the fifth date of Ligue 1, but coach Pochettino has already warned that he will not be among those called up: “The players who have played this morning -Paredes, Di María, Neymar and Messi- by common sense they will not be in the team tomorrow. “His return with PSG would only be on September 15 when he visited Brugge for the Champions League.
For more records
With the hat-trick to Bolivia, he became the top scorer of a South American team, beating Pelé. The 77 of the Brazilian even lagged behind the 79 reached by Lionel, already setting his sights on what is to come in a month.
Sure, while Messi doesn’t chase individual records, he knows they’re always spinning. Now he is among the five players who scored the most goals for national teams. He equaled the 79 made by the top African like Godfrey Chitalu with Zambia. And on the horizon he already has another of the historical names of football: Ferenc Puskas.
The Hungarian striker scored 84 goals in 85 matches with his team, with whom he was Olympic champion and runner-up in the world in Switzerland 1954. Real Madrid’s historic footballer, he was recognized as the best goalscorer of the 20th century by the IFFHS (federation of statistics soccer). And since 2009, FIFA has awarded the Puskas Award for the best goal scored in the year. Curiously, Messi was the one who was nominated the most times (seven) but he could never win it.
