Lionel Messi does it all.
The diminutive superstar started Argentina's friendly match against Hong Kong on Tuesday from the bench, but needed just 30 minutes to accomplish what would take normal human beings much, much longer.
Messi, who entered the contest with his side already up 4-0 in the 60th minute, scored twice and added one assist. His first goal of the evening came in typically brilliant - yet simple - fashion.
After setting up Nicolas Gaitan minutes later, and then adding another goal of his own, Messi saved his best moment for the end of the match. Just prior to the final whistle, the Barcelona attacker provided one lucky - and brave - fan with a moment he'll never forget.
All in 30 minutes of work.
