Lionel Messi continued to dazzle football fans all over the world after another sizzling display last night in an international friendly.

The nippy Argentine netted his countrys second goal in the 2-0 triumph over France in Marseille when he breezed past three defenders with ease before finishing with apl****.

Despite his contribution, he believes that he is still a long way from his best with Los Albicelestes.

With Argentina, I am still not at the level I am currently with Barcelona, but I hope to continue playing and give my best for the country, he said during the post-match press conference.

It was a great game and a very special win because they [France] have a very good team. Now that we have beaten the World Cup runners-up, I believe we have won the recognition we deserve, he added.

Messi, who received a standing ovation from the Stade Velodrome crowd at the end of the match, revealed some insights to the conversations coach, Diego Maradona had with his charges.

He did not say anything special to us. He congratulated us all on the victory and he said to us that this is the mentality we must have to continue growing.
