Valladolid –
Lionel Messi has just set a new record, scoring 644 goals for Barcelona alone. How did the other players break it?
Messi broke Pelé’s legendary record when he helped Barcelona beat Real Valladolid 3-0 in the match of Week 15 of the Spanish League at the José Zorrilla Municipal Stadium, on Wednesday (12/23/2020) WIB at dawn. La Pulga scored one goal, while two others were scored by Martin Braithwaite and Clement Lenglet.
Especially for Messi’s goal, the scoreboard made him surpass Pele’s record, as the top scorer for a club. The Argentine has scored 644 goals, past possession The kingPelé previously scored 643 goals for Santos.
Messi’s success was achieved after defending Barcelona for 17 seasons in Barcelona. An achievement that is clearly difficult for other players to match.
According to former Barcelona player Gary Lineker, Messi’s achievements can certainly be achieved. The condition is that there are players who can be very sharp and consistent throughout the years.
On Twitter, Lineker did the math. The Englishman wrote, at least there are players who are capable of scoring more than 40 goals per season.
“To beat Messi’s 644 goals, you have to average 43 goals per season for 15 years, and for only one club,” tweeted Lineker, who has also played for Leicester City, Everton, Tottenham Hotspur and Nagoya Grampus.
This season, Messi’s performance was not originally on fire. The 33-year-old forward has only scored 10 goals in 18 appearances.
Still leaving half the competition, Messi’s possibility of scoring goals remains wide open. Therefore, his goalscoring record will be very difficult for other players to catch. Do you think there is someone who can overtake it?
