- Lionel Messi clinched his first ever title with Argentina over the weekend
- The 32-year-old scored twice to help his side beat Nicaragua 5-1
- Messi will hope they can win this year's Copa America title slated for this month in Brazil
Barcelona star Lionel Messi clinched his first ever silverware for Argentina senior team after leading his side to a 5-1 victory over Nicaragua.
The 31-year-old, who turns 32 this month scored two quick goals in the 37th and 38th minute to put La Albiceleste ahead in the first half.
Lautaro Martinez also scored twice while Roberto Pereyra scored the final goal late in the second half as the south American nation cruised to convincing victory.
The win saw Messi clinch the Copa San Juan trophy that the two sides were contesting for.
However, his recent achievement has sparked up another comparison between him and Cristiano Ronaldo, who was crowned UEFA Nations League champion.
Ronaldo failed to score in their final clash against Holland but his presence was able to help Portugal win their second trophy in three years.
Goncalo Guedes' 60th minute strike was Portugal needed to hand Fernando Santos' side the victory on home soil.
Last weekend's achievement was Portugal's second trophy in three years, following their Euro 2016 triumph.
