Lionel Messi became the first South American player to score 80 international goals after netting in Argentina's 3-0 win against Uruguay on Sunday.
Messi has set unprecedented standards of excellence since making his international debut for Argentina back in 2005, becoming his country's all-time record scorer in the process.
The 34-year-old even broke Brazil legend Pele's South American scoring record of 77 when netting a hat-trick in a World Cup qualifying win over Bolivia at the start of September, and has reached a new mark after adding to his tally against Uruguay.
Record setting Messi
Messi moved up to 79 goals in 154 outings after his stunning performance against Bolivia, and has now reached the milestone of 80 with arguably one of his most unusual efforts yet.
