List of international goals scored by Lionel Messi

Lionel Messi is an Argentine footballer who has represented the Argentina national team from his debut in 2005. Throughout his international career, Messi has scored 114 goals in 195 international appearances, making him the country's all-time top scorer; he surpassed Gabriel Batistuta's record of 54 goals with a free kick against the United States in the semi-final of the Copa América Centenario on 21 June 2016. He also holds the record for most goals by a South American male, surpassing Brazilian Pelé's 77 goals with a hat-trick against Bolivia on 9 September 2021. He currently sits as the second-highest international goalscorer of all time after scoring against Canada in the 2024 Copa América semi-final. Messi made his debut for Argentina in a 2–1 away win over Hungary on 17 August 2005, and scored his first international goal the following year in his sixth appearance, against Croatia. His goal against Serbia and Montenegro, on 16 June 2006, at the age of 18 years and 358 days, made him the youngest-ever scorer for Argentina at a FIFA World Cup. He has scored 10 international hat-tricks, and has netted twice in a match on 14 occasions. In a friendly against Estonia on 5 June 2022, Messi scored five goals in a match for Argentina for the first time. Out of all his opponents, Messi has scored the most against Bolivia, recording 11 goals in total. He has scored 19 international goals at the Estadio Monumental, his most in a single stadium. In 2022, Messi broke the record for the most international goals scored in a calendar year for Argentina, with 18. Messi has scored 36 goals in FIFA World Cup qualifiers, making him the highest scorer of the qualification in CONMEBOL. He has scored 14 goals in the Copa América; two in 2007, one in 2015, five in 2016, one in 2019, four in 2021 and one in 2024. Messi has scored 13 goals in FIFA World Cup tournaments, a record for Argentina; he scored one goal in 2006, four in 2014, one in 2018 and another seven in 2022. The remainder of Messi's goals, 51, have come in friendlies (official games).
