After equaling Pelé’s 643 goals for the same club, Argentine Lionel Messi beat the Brazilian today by scoring one of Barcelona’s 3-0 goals over Valladolid in the Spanish league.
On social media, Messi celebrated the feat and said that he never thought of breaking records, much less Pelé.
“When I started playing football, I never thought I was going to break any records. And even less what I achieved today that Pele had … I can only thank everyone who helped me in those years, my teammates, my family, my friends and everyone who helped me. I support you every day. Hug !! “, Messi wrote on his official Instagram account.
In matching the brand last week, Messi received praise from Pelé. In a post on Instagram, the former player said that, like Messi, he knows “what it is to love to wear the same jersey every day,” and said he admires the ace.
Messi thanked Pelé for the message and wrote, in Spanish, that the words “meant a lot.”
“Thank you very much for your loving message, Pelé. The truth is that it was beautiful to see you play, and those words mean a lot from someone as great as you. A big hug!”
