The Argentine star made history, but the team stumbled again, now against Valencia.
This Saturday, Barcelona lost two more points in the Spanish soccer league, drawing 2-2 against Valencia, in a game in which Lionel Messi made history, with goal 643 for the Catalans.
At a time when he has been away from great performances and the usual number of goals, without being able to get out of the intense culé crisis, the Argentine has become the player with the most goals for the same club, equaling Pelé’s record with the Santos.
Messi achieved it with a goal in the 45 + 4 minutes, undoubtedly one of the strangest of his career: he missed a penalty, but Jordi Alba arrived first at Domenech’s incomplete and focused defense, with the ball bouncing and the Argentine at head.
The goal, which tied the game (1-1), fell from the sky to Barcelona, as Valencia advanced in the Camp Nou, a header from French Mouctar Diakhaby, left only in a corner, at 29 minutes, and he almost made it 0-2 at 45, saving himself with the “huge” intervention by Ter Stegen, shot by Maxi Gómez.
In the second half, the Uruguayan Ronald Araújo also advanced the Catalans, with an acrobatic shot, in the 52nd minute, but in the 69th, Gonçalo Guedes launched Gayà, who crossed from the left due to the deflection of the Argentine Maxi Gómez, who sealed the 2-2. Final.
Until the end, Barça kept trying for the third, with Coutinho threatening him at 72 and 78 minutes, to, surprisingly, be replaced by Lenglet, in 79.
Gonçalo Guedes, who played a good game, with several unused assists, left exhausted in 87, while Francisco Trincão was inconsequential at “Barça”, in another 17 minutes of use.
Barcelona is fifth, with 21 points, in 13 games, following, with one more match than Atlético de Madrid, eight of the colchoneros, who beat Elche 3-1 at home, with an “encore” by Uruguayan Luis Suárez, whom “Barça” dismissed.
Luis Suárez scored twice, with goals in the 41st and 55th minutes, assisted by Englishman Kieran Trippier and Belgian Yannick Ferreira Carrasco, respectively.
The outsiders still re-entered the fight for the points, with a header from Argentine Lucas Boye, in the 64th minute, after a corner, but in the 78th, Diego Costa, who had replaced João Félix, in the 74th, made the 3 -1, in a dubious penalty.
In the standings, the “eleven” of Argentine Diego Simeone, who in the last match had lost 2-0 to Real Madrid, now has 29 points, in 12 games, against 26 of Real Sociedad, in 14, and 26 of they. “meringues” at 13.
