The champion left Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni in awe after grabbing three goals and two assists against Bolivia. The 37-year-old admitted after the game he's "feeling like a kid again" even though he now he's into his "final games" for the national team.
The Inter Miami superstar may be edging closer to retirement but he still remains a cut above and demonstrated his quality yet again on Tuesday.
Scaloni will certainly be hoping Messi doesn't call it a day anytime soon and admitted after the match that his captain never fails to "amaze" him and his staff with the national team. He told reporters: "He never ceases to amaze me. I sit down and talk to Pablo (Aimar) and I tell him 'this is wonderful'. Enjoying this, being able to sit on this bench and see the things he does and his team supporting him. It is something wonderful.”
