'Would've passed 250 goals in Europe': fans react as Messi bags 5 goals in Estonia friendly

Argentina have beaten Estonia 5-0 in a friendly and Leo Messi scored all five goals.

Reacting to this insane performance, some fans started wondering what would have been had Messi played for a European national team.

FCBJimmy_: "Messi shows us the level of competition in the European Qualifiers. It’s pathetic. He could’ve easily passed 250 goals for his national team if he was born in Europe."


CrawsMat10: "Unpopular opinion: If Messi played against the teams European nations play on the regular, he would have 150+ goals at the international level."


fredsz_: "Messi slapping 5 against Estonia imagine what he would do to Luxembourg and them man."


CFCMod_: "Lionel Messi would easily statpad against these European teams, can’t believe they tried to make us think he was better off."



hazfcb_: "Messi just ended the international career debate for good, 5 goals in one game against the type of team a certain European plays 70% of his games against. Imagine he played for Spain and could score super hattricks every other matchday. He’d be on 500 international goals"


Of course, the fans are comparing Messi to Cristiano Ronaldo in this case, who is the best goalscorer on the international level with 117 goals. The former Barcelona player currently sits at 86 international goals.

However, many of Cristiano's goals were scored against weak European teams. Messi could have played in Europe had he accepted Spain's invitation. However, he decided to play for his native country instead.
