Less than a month after Lionel Messi topped Forbes' highest-paid athletes list for 2022, the Paris Saint-Germain superstar reminded the world just how exceptional he can be on the pitch when he is back in the groove. The seven-time Ballon d'Or winner scored all five goals as Argentina thrashed Estonia 5-0 in a friendly in Pamplona, Spain. Elsewhere, Messi's arch-rival Ronaldo also showed no sign of slowing down as the 37-year-old scored twice in four minutes in Portugal's comfortable 4-0 victory against Switzerland in the Nations League.
