In the match against Bolivia, Messi wanted to prove he was still alive and playing for Argentina while people think he is not in the good form anymore. We recently saw the news about Messi and his situation in Inter Miami, he injured and even I saw some rumors about Messi they say Messi won't be able to play in all Inter Miami games because of his age and he needs more rest which means he can't have the chance to even play or Argentina in the 2026 World Cup because he will even get older than this.
Messi scored three goals and made two assists against Bolivia and he was the best player in this match.
No doubt Messi scored three goals in the span of 30 minutes and it was his MLS first hat trick. You can watch the highlights of his hattrick here

However, i believe it is too early to say how will be perform in the next world cup that is scheduled in 2026. There is still almost 2 year's time left in that event and we never know if at that time he would be in same form and rhythm. He is 37 now and by that time he maybe near 39.
Lionel Messi: I value happiness over reaching 2026 World Cup
I feel you think that's good for Argentina to have Messi in this tan dn they are still dependent on this player but that's really wrong Messi is an old player. Once he was younger he was one of the best talented for Barcelona and Argentina but time after time he got older and now even he can't play in all the games completely for Inter Miami because there is a much higher chance for Messi to get injured and he won't have his good form anymore in his team.
Argentina should stop using Messi like he is still an effective player for them and they should start forming their new Messi by using the younger players in the 2026 World Cup instead of Messi.
