The entire world was left wondering how Lionel Messi hadn’t scored at the 2024 Copa AmĂ©rica—until now.

Before Tuesday’s semi-final against Canada, the Inter Miami man had just one assist and a missed penalty.

However, this time around at MetLife Stadium, Messi seemed more like the talent we know he is. And a slick flick in front of goalkeeper Maxime Crepeau doubled the lead for Argentina.

This means Messi moved beyond Ali Daei in the all-time men’s international scoring charts with 109 goals after 186 caps.

He’s scored in the World Cup semi-finals, Copa AmĂ©rica semi-finals, Champions League semi-finals, Club World Cup semi-finals, Copa del Rey semi-finals and the U20 World Cup semi-finals.

Will he overtake Cristiano Ronaldo’s all-time record? Let us know in the comments below.
