Twitch Streamer Ignites Debate: Should Friendly Goals Count in Messi's Total?

In a recent video uploaded to Twitch, Colombian streamer Davoo Xeneize sparked a discussion among football fans about the inclusion of friendly matches in official goal tallies. The video focuses on the Argentina vs. Germany friendly in 2012. Xeneize points out Messi's goals in this match, raising the question of their significance. "The discussion is important because it highlights the subjectivity in defining what constitutes an 'important' goal," says Xeneize in his video. The video's concise format and the use of specific match data make it a good starting point for a broader discussion about how football statistics are interpreted and presented. This debate is relevant because it affects how we perceive and rank players' achievements.
