Lionel Messi is on the verge of rewriting the record book again.
The Paris Saint-Germain star scored in the 14th minute of a 2022 World Cup qualifier against Bolivia. By doing so, he tied Brazil legend Pele for the most international goals by a South American.

Messi laid waste to a number of impressive benchmarks during his time with Barcelona. One achievement remains somewhat contentious, though.
The 34-year-old scored his 644th goal for Barca last December, which was the most ever for a single club and put him ahead of Pele.
