LIONEL MESSI has no shortage of stunning achievements in his award-winning career.

LIONEL MESSI has no shortage of stunning achievements in his award-winning career.

Lionel Messi continues to amass remarkable feats in his illustrious career, and he added another exceptional milestone to his name on Thursday. During Argentina's match against Australia, the 35-year-old superstar achieved the quickest goal of his professional journey, as confirmed by CONMEBOL, the governing body of South American football. Just 79 seconds into the game, Messi displayed his brilliance near the edge of the box, unleashing a stunning left-footed strike that found the back of the net and gave La Albiceleste an early lead.

Messi's goal on Thursday proved pivotal as Argentina claimed a 2-0 victory at Workers' Stadium in Beijing. With this achievement, the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner has now scored in every minute of a match except for the first minute. Notably, the soccer legend has netted the highest number of goals (16) in his career during the 87th minute, as reported by Gracenote Live.

Messi’s goal also marks another strong performance for him against the Socceroos. In Argentina’s 2–1 victory against Australia in the 2022 World Cup, Messi landed a dazzling goal to help the club secure the win.

Messi finished second among scorers at the World Cup, notching seven goals and registering three assists to help his country win the ’22 World Cup title. His latest brilliance on the field comes after the star told Titan Sports that he will most likely not help his country defend its title in the ’26 World Cup.

“I don’t think so,” Messi said. “This was my last World Cup. I’ll see how things go, but in principle, no, I won’t go to the next World Cup.”

Mark your calendars for June 19 when Messi and the Argentina team will resume their action in a friendly match against Indonesia, set to take place in Jakarta.
