Erwin Saavedra pulled one back for Bolivia in the second half, but Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez scored minutes later to seal a 4-1 win for Argentina.

Now, one fan produced a compilation to showcase Messi's brilliance against Bolivia, with one supporter saying the video "could be career highlight for other players."

Someone else said: "This could be career highlight for other players."

While a third tweeted: "Hard to believe this guy is a free agent in two days! Someone sign him up!"

A fourth wrote: "We know Messi's in the mood when he switches play for fun."

And a fifth added: "The GOAT himself doing what he does best."

Argentina topped Group A after three wins and a draw, with Uruguay and Paraguay also qualifying for the Copa America knockout stages.

Messi and Co will now face Ecuador in the quarter-finals on 4th July at the Estadio Olimpico Pedro Ludovico.
