9 goals in 3 games... Messi "sick" reaches his 90th goal for Argentina
![]() |
Messi scored 10 goals for his country in 2022 |
Argentine star Lionel Messi has flu-like symptoms and will not participate in his country's friendly against Jamaica.
In the 56th minute of the game - while the result indicated a tango lead with a clean goal scored by Lautaro Martínez - Messi entered a substitute for his first goal in the 86th minute and a minute before the end shook the "bolga" again with a goal from a direct free-kick.
The victory of Argentina and the double of Missy recorded several figures, most notably:
- In 2022, the Argentine captain scored 10 goals in his country's shirt, including 9 goals in 3 games.
- He scored 90 goals for his country.
- He extended Argentina's unbeaten run to 35 consecutive games.
The game saw not only spherical figures but also a record of fans breaking into the stadium to take a photo with Messi, with 3 people breaking into, including a bare-chested fan, and Messi falling on the cheerleader's back before the security officers took him outside the stadium.
Messi - who also scored twice in winning a clean treble against Honduras in Miami last Friday - is looking to lead Argentina to its third World Cup win and first since 1986.
Argentina will play another match against the UAE on November 16 before the start of their tournament campaign against Saudi Arabia on November 22.
