Messi scored three times and provided two assists as his country calimed a 6-0 win.
It was the 37-year-old’s 10th international hat-trick, equalling Ronaldo’s record.
La Albiceleste are on course to qualify from South America, as they are currently three points above second-placed Colombia and six above arch-rivals Brazil.
On the same night, Ronaldo failed to score for Portugal, as they played out a 0-0 draw in Scotland in the UEFA Nations League.
Ronaldo was clearly frustrated after the game and could be seen throwing tantrums.
