Lionel Messi went some way to banishing his
Argentina demons on Wednesday night after putting on a virtuoso display
to inspire his country to a 3-1 victory against Switzerland in Bern. His
well-taken hat-trick also took his international goal tally to 22,
surpassing legendary striker Mario Kempes and capping off a memorable
night for the 24-year-old.
The fleet-footed attacker has been continually criticised by many for failing to replicate his form with Barcelona on the international stage, but his latest performance should see Portuguese counterpart Cristiano Ronaldo look on in envy following the Seleccao's latest disappointing result - a 0-0 draw in Poland.
