Lionel Messi to score a hat-trick against Benin on Oct 6?

Call it a dream, because it is one. A packed Monumental, a farewell night, and Messi at 39 saying goodbye to the shirt he wore for 21 years. A hat-trick would be pure fairy tale, the kind of ending only he could write. The odds are long, but hope never is. The GOAT has given us every reason to believe in magic.
