Welcomed like a king in Angola, where Argentina traveled on Friday for a friendly match, Lionel Messi did not disappoint the public at the 11 de Novembre stadium in Luanda.
The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner was involved in both of his team’s goals. The former Barcelona player first served Lautaro Martinez on the opener for the Albiceleste (43rd). Then the roles were reversed, Lionel Messi finding the fault at the end of the second half (82nd).
First for Panichelli
Author of his first career goal on the African continent, the Argentine genius above all signed his 895 goals and 401 assists in his career.
Note the entry into play of Strasbourg striker Joaquin Panichelli, who honored his first selection by replacing idol Lionel Messi at the very end of the game.
