Messi scored a hat-trick against Bolivia to overtake Pele as the highest goal scorer in South American football history.
“Hi @leomessi, sorry if I’m late. However, I didn’t want to pass up the chance to congratulate you for another record broken earlier this month,” Pele wrote on Instagram.
“Your talent when playing soccer is outstanding! I hope you achieve even more, alongside my friends @k.mbappe and @neymarjr (at PSG).”
Messi now has 79 goals two ahead of Pele on 77.
