LIonel Messi really didn’t have a good time recently. After the 2: 8 debacle in the Champions League against Bayern, he wanted his FC Barcelona, which he came to when he was 13, preferred to leave today rather than tomorrow. The club didn’t let him go. At least Messi was able to set a pretty old record. Like Pelé, Messi has now scored 643 goals for just one club. What the Brazilian did for FC Santos in his home country from 1957 to 1974, the Argentine did for the Catalan club since 2004. And the record is likely to fall soon, the season for Messi is still long.

But whether the 33 year old Messi Beyond that goals for the Futbol Club Barcelona is uncertain. His contract expires in the summer. And the situation has not improved. In terms of sport, Barça is lagging behind, and financially it looks anything but rosy. So Messi could hardly enjoy his record. The 2-2 draw against Valencia CF wasn’t the result he’d hoped for in the 748th game. And the goal was anything but terrific. First Messi missed a penalty, with a lot of luck he got the rebounding ball back and pushed it with his head over the line.
Skin it didn’t matter. He shared the admiration for Messi with everyone. “Stories like ours, about the love for the same club for so long, are unfortunately becoming increasingly rare in football,” wrote the 80-year-old on Instagram. “I admire you very much, Messi. When your heart overflows with love, it’s hard to change course. Just like you, I know what it’s like to wear the same jersey every day. Just like you, I know that there is nothing better than a place where you feel at home. ”How long that will be the case for Messi is unclear. It smells like goodbye.
Things are going much better than for FC Barcelona Atletico Madrid. Diego Simeone’s team conceded only the fifth goal in their 12th game of the season in a 3-1 win against FC Elche. The star strikers met again in the front: Luis Suarez twice and Diego Costa from penalties. Atlético remains first.
Meanwhile, city rivals Real Madrid, who prevailed 3: 1 at SD Eibar, are tied. Karim Benzema and Luka Modric scored early, but after the connecting goal only Lucas Vazquez calmed the nerves in injury time. Atlético, however, still have two catch-up games.
Real Sociedad San Sebastian is somewhat in crisis. The team from the Basque Country has been the surprise of the season for a long time. But she hasn’t won for a month. There was also a defeat at UD Levante. Alexander Isak’s goal was not enough – it was a 1: 2.
In the English Premier League, Liverpool have a happy holiday season. The champion won 7-0 at Crystal Palace and is the first to go into the holidays. Takumi Minamino, Sadio Mané, Jordan Henderson and two times Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah scored for Jürgen’s team Klopp.
