Lionel Messi (33) scored 643 goals in his team Barcelona (Spain) alone, standing shoulder to shoulder with Pele (80).
Messi scored a heading equalizer in the 49th minute when the team was dragged 0-1 in the home game of the 14th round of Primera Liga in the 2020-2021 season against Valencia held at Camp Nou in Barcelona, Spain on the 20th (Korean time). The match resulted in a 2-2 draw, while Messi made a big record. Messi wore a Barcelona uniform and played 784 matches, scoring his 643th, a tie for the single club’s most scoring. Pele, the highest record in the past, scored 643 goals in 757 matches for Santos (Brazil) from 1956 to 1974.
Messi, from Barcelona’s youth, scored his first goal in Barcelona in March 2005 in a league match against Albacete with the help of Ronaldinho. Messi, who was recognized for his possibility by scoring 8 goals in 25 games in the 2005-2006 season, succeeded in scoring the first double digits with 17 points in 36 games in the 2006-2007 season. Since then, he has consistently scored double digits for 14 seasons until last season. In particular, he scored 73 goals in 60 games in the 2011-2012 season. He is scoring 9 goals in 17 games this season.
“I know what it feels like to wear the same team uniform every day,” Pele said on his social media (SNS). Recently, in the soccer world, players who spend a lot of time in one club are disappearing. That’s why Messi’s record is even more praised.” In addition, Pele posted a picture of herself and Messi, who are performing a’look-alike’ goal ceremony along with the text.
Meanwhile, Lee Kang-in, who plays for Valencia, was put on the replacement list on this day, and was put in the second half for 45 minutes to play a comeback. Lee Kang-in, who recently recovered from a new coronavirus infection (Corona 19), hit the ground after about a month after the Alaves war on the 23rd of last month.
