Lionel Messi's cameo in 3-0 Jamaica was breathtakingly brilliant, featured two stunning goals

Julian Alvarez, leading the line alongside Angel Di Maria and Lautaro Martinez, opened the scoring in the 13th minute.

Captain, talisman and record goalscorer Messi was brought on just before the hour mark and the fans in attendance were treated to a masterclass.

He doubled Argentina's lead in the 86th minute, seizing on a loose ball and driving forward before smashing a low effort into the bottom corner past Andre Blake.

That was Messi's 89th goal for La Albiceleste but he soon moved onto 90 for his country - notching again just minutes later.

Argentina were awarded a free-kick right on the edge of the box and Messi, being a set-piece specialist, fancied his chances.

The Paris Saint-Germain superstar decided to go low again and caught the strike with the perfect power and placement, the ball going around the wall and fizzing into the back of the net in incredibly satisfying fashion.

It sealed a routine win for Argentina, who have gone 35 games unbeaten.

Messi, who was twice accosted by pitch invaders in the fixture, is now the third-highest international goalscorer of all-time.

This was the 35-year-old's final Argentina game before the World Cup in Qatar and Messi is looking in very good shape.

“It was wonderful to see him play. The same thing with him, although much more because football is a sport that moves much more. It’s why the entire world enjoys him, regardless of the country.

“It’s wonderful to see. I have the possibility of coaching him but if I were a fan, I would pay the ticket. The only thing left is to enjoy him because I don’t know if there will ever be anything like him.”
