Argentine star Lionel Messi has continued to chase his traditional rival, Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo towards records in their football careers.
Messi scored a hat-trick to contribute to a sweeping win for Argentina against Curaçao (7-0) in a friendly, held at dawn on Wednesday.
Liu raised his balance to 102 international goals, becoming the third player to achieve this achievement, after Iranian Ali Daei's (109) goals, and Cristiano Ronaldo's (122) goals.
Argentina's eighth hat-trick captain has scored in 174 caps.
The current Paris Saint-Germain and former Barcelona star began his career with Argentina in August 2005 under coach Jose Beckerman.
Following Curaçao's friendship, Lionel Messi was honored with a silver shield bearing his name, documenting this historic moment while retaining his 100th international goal.
