List of international goals scored by Lionel Messi
Lionel Messi is an Argentine professional footballer who has represented the Argentina national football team as a forward since his debut in 2005. Since then, Messi has scored 80 goals in 159 international appearances,[1] making him the country's all-time top scorer; he surpassed Gabriel Batistuta's record of 54 goals with a free kick against the United States in the semi-finals of the Copa América Centenario on 21 June 2016.[2][3] He also holds the record for most goals by a South American male, surpassing Pelé‘s 77 goals with a hat-trick against Bolivia in September 2021.[4] Messi made his debut for Argentina in a 2–1 away win over Hungary on 17 August 2005,[5] and scored his first international goal a year later in his sixth appearance for his country against Croatia.[1]
Messi's goal against Serbia and Montenegro, on 16 June 2006, made him the youngest-ever scorer for Argentina at a FIFA World Cup when he was 18 years and 357 days old.[6] He has scored seven international hat-tricks, and has netted twice in a match (also known as a brace) on eleven occasions.[1] Messi has scored the most times while facing Bolivia, with eight goals against the side.[1]
Messi has scored 27 goals in FIFA World Cup qualifiers. He has scored thirteen goals in the Copa América,[1] leading his team to victory in the 2021 edition of the tournament, also finishing as runner-up in 2007, 2015, and 2016. At the 2015 tournament, he allegedly rejected the Best Player award and the trophy was omitted from the ceremony,[7][8] although he did win and accept the honour in 2021. Messi has scored six times in FIFA World Cup tournaments:[1] once in 2006, four times in 2014, when he guided his team to the final and was awarded the Golden Ball, and once in 2018.[9] The remainder of Messi's goals, 34, have come in friendlies.[1]
