Argentina's Gonzalo Higuain thrilled by goalscoring form: 'This was a perfect week'

The 23-year-old attacker helped Madrid move up to third in La Liga by scoring three goals in the side's 4-0 victory at Espanyol on October 2.



Just six days later, Higuain picked up another hat-trick and assisted Lionel Messi as Argentina thrashed Chile 4-1 in a 2014 World Cup qualifier.

"You can say this was a perfect week," the striker is quoted by AS as saying. "I am very happy with how things have turned out.

"But more than happy with my goals, I am happy with Argentina's victory against a very tough opponent such as Chile."

After such an impressive start to the qualifying campaign, Higuain said he hopes the team will be able to stay on the winning trail.

"It was very good to get off on the right foot," he added. "It was very important to begin the road to the World Cup with a victory, and doing it with this result was even better.

"We could have scored more goals, but we are very happy with our display. We have to continue like this to get what we want."

The Madrid striker then heaped praise on Barcelona's Lionel Messi, saying: "It is impossible to play badly alongside him.

"We are very lucky that he plays for us, we got along very well. It is a pleasure to play with him, because everything makes much more sense."
