Algeria replace Nigeria as Messi’s record African victims

Lionel Messi scored a record-breaking hat-trick against Algeria, making them his most-punished African opponent, surpassing Nigeria’s previous record.

Before the encounter, Messi had scored three goals in four appearances against Nigeria, all of them coming in World Cup meetings.

His latest treble, however, takes his tally against Algeria to five goals in just two matches, making the Desert Warriors the African nation he has punished most throughout his international career.
