The Barcelona starlet has expressed that he is elated with Argentina’s 3-1 victory over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Switzerland-c3016 on Wednesday, at the Stade De Suisse.
The two international teams met in a much hyped friendly match that promised to bring several great players on the pitch.
The Argentine international was particularly euphoric because of a remarkable result secured by the Argentine national side. Argentia were brilliant on the night and Messi has declared that it was a proud moment for him.
Messi was able to put up an excellent performance for his national team, scoring a hat-trick, and sealed the victory for La Albiceleste. The Barca star man was more than pleased with his own performance and claimed that it was special for him to perform
in the match against Switzerland, as it was for the Argentinean national team.
Even though Alejandro Sabella’s men returned home victorious, they had to work hard to get the three points. The fans witnessed a cagy affair and it was a closely contested match.
The first real chance of the match came almost after 20 minutes, and it proved very fruitful for the South Americans as Messi scored the opener after receiving an assist from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-c33030 Aguero.
However, despite Argentina’s firepower, the hosts were able to equalize in the second half as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Xherdan-Shaqiri-c37074 managed to put the ball behind the net in the 49th minute.
From then on, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 scored a well-deserved goal in the 88th minute.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 number 10 completed his hat-trick in the 93rd minute after he perfectly converted a penalty in the dying moments of the match.
While talking to reporters after the match, the 24-year-old was quoted as saying:
“I had been waiting for a long time for this moment because on a lot of occasions things didn't work out for me. Now, things have worked out, the team won and we did well. It's special because it happened with the national team."
Argentina’s next international fixture will be in early June when they face http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ecuador-c2889 in a World Cup qualification match.
