The last week has been filled with international clashes, with upsets and big scorelines galore across the world.
With some of the best players in the world turning out for their country we saw some outstanding goals – here are some of the best from the international break.
Aurelien Tchouameni vs Ireland
England fans are all too aware of Aurelien Tchouameni’s ability to put the ball in the back of the net from long range, and he went on to showcase this against Ireland.
Latching onto Kylian Mbappé’s layoff after a corner was cleared, the Real Madrid man sent an absolute screamer into the corner of he Irish net from 25 yards to put France 1-0 up.
Charles De Ketelaere vs Estonia
Belgium pulled out all the party tricks towards the end of their 5-0 victory over Estonia, with Atalanta’s on-loan forward Charles De Ketelaere scoring the pick of the goals.
Manchester City’s new man Jeremy Doku wowed the crowd with some mesmerising trickery before feeding the ball inside to De Ketelaere, who rolled the ball past an oncoming defender before firing the ball in for his second Belgium goal.
Jasir Asani vs Poland
Albania pulled off a historical upset against Poland, with winger Jasir Asani scoring a stunning goal to set them on their way.
After being fed the ball wide on the right wing by Lazio full back Elseid Hysaj, Asani uncorked an unstoppable drive from 35 yards that dipped into the corner of the net to set Albania on their way to a memorable result.
Lionel Messi vs Ecuador
After winning everything in the sport during his time in Europe, Lionel Messi has been tearing up defences for fun in the MLS for the last month, and took a short break out of club football to continue his incredible performances on the international stage.
Standing over a free kick 25 yards out, Messi did as he has many times before and curled the ball over the wall and into the corner of the net, leaving the goalkeeper motionless as he ran away in celebration.
Joao Felix vs Luxembourg
Despite not playing at his best at club level over the last couple of years, Portugal’s attacking talent Joao Felix has seemingly not let this affect his international form after a stunning finish against Luxembourg.
With Portugal running riot against the European minnows, Felix picked the ball up on the corner of the box before hammering a fierce drive into the corner of the net to add to the demolition job.
