Today will go down in the history books as one of the most remarkable days of Lionel Messi and Neymar’s careers. Here we begin with Lionel Messi, who may or may not have played his last pre-World Cup exhibition game for Argentina against Jamaica.
Even though the superstar known as El Pulga didn’t enter the game until the second half, he played brilliantly and scored two goals in the final three minutes.
The 35-year-old Albiceleste striker, who is the team’s center point, plays with a style that has been called as deadly.
Leo received many balls, and the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner ultimately did not disappoint Vn88 fans.
The two goals Leo scored this morning put him beyond the 90-goal mark for the Argentine national team. Compared to other forwards who have made a name for themselves on the scoreboard, such as Pele and Neymar, he is quite a ways behind. South American football’s rich history.
In the background, behind Messi, stands none other than Pele, the legend himself. But in the near future, Neymar might easily surpass the record of 77 goals scored by the player who has won the World Cup a record three times. At the moment, Neymar is the top player in the world. This is a topic that has been covered extensively by Vn88.cx in their earlier works.
One of PSG’s Brazilian players recently scored for Brazil, bringing his total to 75 goals, only two short of Pele’s record.
It’s not out of the question that Lionel Messi and Neymar will finish as the top two scorers in South American history, making them the best two forwards in the region. Apparently, that is serving as a major source of motivation for both of them as they get ready to compete in the World Cup finals in November, as reported by Vn88.
The Argentine superstar almost missed the only train that could take him to the throne in the football world, equal to the position of Maradona or Pele. Now, the image of Messi is reminiscent of great legends such as Di Stéfano, Cruyff, Eusebio, or Puskas, the “kings without thrones” of world football.
