The Argentine national team will contest the last friendly of the current international window on Tuesday against Jamaica at the New Jersey’s Red Bull Arena at 20:00 local time.

Jamaica currently sit in 42nd place in the FIFA ranking and have failed to beat the Albiceleste in the sides’ last three meetings (5-0, 2-1 and 1-0).

Leo Messi heads into the penultimate run-out before the Qatar World Cup having struck seven goals in Argentina’s last two outings.

The Argentina national team ran out 3-0 winners over Honduras at Miami's Hard Rock Stadium. Leo bagged a brace, the first of which came in first-half injury time from the penalty spot, before he completed his double on 69'.

This win extends the Albiceleste's unbeaten run to 34 matches. Next up for Argentina is a friendly against Jamaica. Leo Messi, the national team's all-time leading marksman, added a further two goals to his tally and has now struck 88 times in 162 outings.

Leo and the Argentina national team will take on Honduras this Saturday in the first of a friendly double-header for the Albiceleste during this final international break prior to the Qatar World Cup. The two teams go head-to-head at Miami's Hard Rock Stadium, where the Argentine players are currently staying.

The reigning Copa América champions will be out to extend their 33-game unbeaten run against a Honduran team that they have only met twice before (2003 and 2016). Messi featured in the sides' last meeting, in which the Argentines ran out 1-0 winners at the Estadio San Juan del Bicentenario.

PSG ran out 1-0 away winners over Olympique Lyon courtesy of a fifth-minute Leo Messi strike.

This means that the Argentine now has four goals and seven assists to his name from the opening eight rounds of the domestic campaign. The Parisians remain undefeated and top of the Ligue 1 table after putting together a four-game winning streak.

Leo Messi and PSG travel to Lyon on Sunday for the sides’ Ligue 1 Matchday 8 encounter. The visitors will be aiming to hold on to joint-top spot with Olympique Marseille and Lorient, who have played a game more.

The Parisians remain unbeaten in the French top flight with six wins and a draw to their name, whilst Olympique Lyon lie in fifth place and in the Conference League berth, with a record of four wins, a draw and two defeats.

Leo Messi's strike against Maccabi Haifa on Matchday 2 of the Champions League campaign helped PSG to rack up a second victory in the competition and also saw him set a new record, with the Argentine becoming the only player to have scored against 39 different opponents in the tournament.

In addition, his strike on Israeli soil means that he has now found the net in an 18th successive edition of the continental competition.
