Lionel Messi established himself as the first star of the Argentina-Bolivia match in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, which was played on Wednesday morning.
The Inter Miami star needed only 19 minutes to give his country the first goal, and before the end of the first half, he made a goal for Alessandro Martinez and another for Julian Alvarez.
Messi was only absent from the fourth goal scored by Thiago Almada with an assist from Nahuel Molina, before appearing again in the last 10 minutes of the match in his own way.
The 37-year-old scored Argentina’s fifth goal in the 84th minute, then the sixth goal in the 86th minute.
Thanks to the 6-0 victory, Argentina is one step closer to qualifying for the 2026 World Cup after reaching 22 points at the top of the qualifiers and 3 points ahead of the closest pursuer, Colombia.
Now we leave you with Messi’s creativity against Bolivia..
