Pelé sent a message to Messi after the Argentine scored 643 goals with the jersey of a single team in his career, which until then belonged exclusively to the King of Soccer.
In an Instagram post, the former player said that, like Messi, he knows “what it’s like to wear the same shirt every day,” and said he admired the star.
“When your heart overflows with love, it is difficult to change your path. Like you, I know what it is to love to wear the same shirt every day. Like you, I know that there is nothing better than where we are. Feel like at home. Congratulations on your historical record, Lionel. But above all, congratulations on your beautiful career at Barcelona, ”wrote the King.
“Stories like ours, of loving the same club for so long, will unfortunately be increasingly rare in football. I admire you a lot, @leomessi,” he concluded.
The star scored Valencia, head on, after missing a penalty at the end of the first stage. Shirt 10 reached the 714 goal mark in his entire career, becoming the fifth top scorer in football history. The figure is higher than that scored by Pelé in official matches of his career for Santos, the Brazilian team and New York Cosmos (756).
