Messi was back to his best last night in South America as Argentina took on Bolivia in their World Cup qualifier, the Argentine’s won three nil thanks to a Lionel Messi Hot-trick and his first goal was a thing of beauty. Argentina lie second in the table for qualification and are looking good to go to the World Cup in 2022 in Qatar where Messi will probably have one more and his last chance to try and win the World Cup.

What a fitting end that would be to a top notch career to cap it off with the World Cup and match what Diego Maradona did with that famous Argentina team.
