Sports Mole challenges you to name the top 25 international goalscorers of all time after Lionel Messi reached a milestone only previously achieved by Cristiano Ronaldo.

Lionel Messi has joined his inseparable rival Cristiano Ronaldo as the only players in men's football history to score more than 110 goals at international level.

The Argentina icon brought up the latest in a never-ending list of landmarks and accolades in typical fashion as he hit a hat-trick - and weighed in with two assists - in a 6-0 World Cup qualifying win over Bolivia on Wednesday, October 16.

It was Messi's 10th hat-trick for his country and took him onto 112 international goals overall - closing the gap on Ronaldo, although he is still some way behind the Portugal legend.

Messi did hint after the match that he may be coming towards the end of his Argentina career, although his sights will surely be set on having the chance to defend the World Cup crown he won in Qatar in 2022.

La Albiceleste have enjoyed one of the most dominant eras in international football history under Messi's captaincy, winning back-to-back Copas America either side of that World Cup triumph in 2022.

The Inter Miami man's place in football history is already secure no matter where he ends up on the list of all-time international goalscorers, but he still sits clear of some great names in that list.

Here, to celebrate him reaching the 110 landmark, Sports Mole is challenging you to name the rest of the top 25 international scorers of all time. How many can you get?
