Two goals, one assist
Messi shines in last test before Copa America
Lionel Messi scored a brace on his comeback in the Argentina national team starting eleven and presented himself in brilliant form in the last test before the Copa America.
The 36-year-old also set up a goal in the world champions' 4-1 win over Guatemala in Landover on Friday evening. The superstar played 35 minutes in the 1-0 win over Ecuador last Sunday.
He had missed the international matches in March due to thigh problems. However, Messi looked fit against Guatemala and underlined his form not only by scoring the equalizer and the final goal. He also scored with a free-kick to the goalposts, a strong pass before the penalty that Lautaro Martínez converted to make it 2-1, and the assist for the 3-1.
