Messi Storms Past 100-goal Milestone for Argentina with Stunning First-half Hat-trick Against Curacao | Football/Soccer

Argentina captain Lionel Messi scored a hat-trick against Curacao on Tuesday to race past the 100-goal barrier for the world champions.

Messi took just 37 minutes to score a hat-trick in a 7-0 thrashing of Curacao on Tuesday.
