Real Madrid and Argentina striker Gonzalo Higuain is delighted with his current form for club and country after scoring two hat-tricks in six days.
The 23-year-old put three past Espanyol in Real Madrid's last game before the international break, sending Los Blancos to third place with a 4-0 win, reports ESPNstar.
He then scored another hat-trick, this time for Argentina against Chile, and set up one more for Lionel Messi as they beat their neighbours 4-1 in the 2014 World Cup qualifier.
Higuain expressed delight with his performance, but insists that getting the result for his nation was more important than his personal performance.
He told AS: "You can say this was a perfect week. 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."
"It was very good to get off on the right foot. 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."
Higuain ended off with high praise for his team-mate 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."
