Lionel Messi celebrates after the historic goal.

New great loss for Barcelona.

But Lionel Messi, in any case, can be happy to have touched Pele’s record for the number of goals for the same club.

His 1-1 goal against Valencia is 643 with the Barcelona shirt.

Barcelona is far from being a title challenger. At the same time that league leaders Atlético de Madrid took a 3-1 win over Elche, Barcelona added another points loss to Valencia.

The match ended 2-2 after Maxi Gómez had the last word with the draw for Valencia in the 69th minute.

Drops of earth

But the goal that goes to the history books is Barcelona’s 1-1 draw. Lionel Messi missed a penalty first, but was able to put the ball into the second wave after a bit of talk.

His 643 goal with the Catalans, as many as Pelé did with Santos during his career.

The center in the match makes Barcelona stay at 21 points, eight worse than Atlético de Madrid, despite a more disputed match.
