PSG star Messi becomes the third player to get over 100 goals for his country.
Lionel Messi is become the third male player to score more than 100 goals for his country.
In Tuesday's friendly match between Argentina and Curacao, the 35-year-old scored three times.
Messi's three goals bring his career total to 102.
The superstar of Paris Saint-Germain reached the 100-goal plateau in his 174th outing for his nation after scoring his 99th goal for his country and 800th of his career in the 2-0 victory against Panama last Thursday.
Nonetheless, Messi still ranks third among all-time male international scorers, behind only Iran's Ali Daei and Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo, both of whom have 120 goals to their names. Ali Daei scored 109 goals before retiring in 2007.
