Argentina played another friendly game yesterday when they welcomed Curacao to the Estadio Unico Madre de Ciudades in what seemed to be a very easy game for the home side. The Argentine National Team had an outstanding performance in the encounter as they ruthlessly thrashed Curacao 7-0 thanks to goals from Lionel Messi (hattrick), Enzo Fernandez, Angel Di Maria, Nicolás González, and Gonzalo Montiel.
Well, Lionel Messi made yet another appearance for Argentina in the encounter as he put up an incredible performance against Curacao. The PSG Forward showed his class in the game as he netted a hattrick and also provided an assist to contribute heavily to Argentina’s massive win over Curacao. The 38-year-old reached a milestone in the game by scoring his 100+ goals for Argentina on International level.
Well, I believe his stunning performance in the game explains why Cristiano Ronaldo is lucky to play in Europe on National level. In Europe, Portugal gets to face lower-ranked nations like Andorra, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Faroe Islands and so many others which have greatly helped Cristiano Ronaldo in boosting his goal record internationally.
Lionel Messi showed Cristiano Ronaldo’s luck with facing weaker teams when he netted three goals against Curacao. The 38-year-old once netted five goals against an European Nation Estonia which could have been a regular opponent for him if he had played for a country like Spain. I strongly believe Lionel Messi would have scored more international goals than Ronaldo if he played European matches on national level and got the favour of facing lower-ranked nations.
