Ali Daei of Iran is in second place with 109 goals, and Mokhtar Dahari of Malaysia is third with 89 goals. Ronaldo scored two goals on Sunday when Portugal defeated Switzerland.

Before Messi, no player in Argentina’s senior team history had ever scored five goals. In the round of 16 of the Champions League in 2011-12, he played for Barcelona and helped them to a 7-1 victory against Bayer Leverkusen. He scored five goals. Messi, who is now 34 years old, was instrumental in Argentina’s 3-0 victory against Italy in the first Finalissima matchup between the South American and European champions last week. Messi had two assists in the victory. The previous year, he was a key contributor to Argentina’s victory in the Copa América, which was his first major trophy won with the national team.

Argentina has not been defeated in any of its last 33 matches.

The contest was placed in Osasuna’s stadium in Spain.
