Lionel Messi left another impressive mark in his career, he left Pelé behind and is now the top scorer in history for a single club, counting only official goals. The Argentine reached the record by brandishing the nets for the 644th time with the Barcelona starting before Real Valladolid this tuesday for The league.
Messi had equaled the King of Soccer last Saturday when he scored against Valencia (see goal below). The same Pelé took to social networks to congratulate the Argentine for his impressive feat.

Messi is already Barcelona’s top scorer since 2012, when he surpassed César Rodríguez’s 234 goals.
Six years later, in 2018, he became the top scorer for a single European club, when he surpassed the 565 goals scored by Gerd Muller to Bayern Munich.
The Argentine will now try to be the top scorer in the history of football in official matches. He reached 715 goals against 805 for the Austrian Josef Bican. In the middle of the list, however, there is still Cristiano Ronaldo with 752 goals and still active.
Pelé, again, is hampered on this list by the exclusion of friendlies. He has a total of 767 official goals. Romário, another who passed the thousand-goal barrier, appears in the account with 772 balls in the nets.
