Even though it was just a matter of time, Lionel Messi found the way to amaze his fans against the United States.
"La Pulga" became Argentina's all-time top scorer with a free kick goal against the Stars & Stripes, good enough to double La Albiceleste's lead against the hosts. With the ball placed four yards away from the USMNT's box, the playmaker sent the ball into the top left-hand corner of Brad Guzan's net.
Messi confirmed himself as La Albiceleste's best striker of all-time, surpassing Gabriel Batistuta's tally of 54 goals.
