Lionel Messi (34, FC Barcelona) found its place and went up. After being slightly pushed out of the scoring competition, he quickly rose to the top with multi-goals for two consecutive games.
Messi scored two goals in the 2020-2021 Spanish Primera Liga away game against Granada at Estadio Nuevo Los Carmenes in Granada, Spain on the 10th (Korean time), leading a complete victory of 4-0. It is a terrifying concentration of 4 goals in 2 matches following 2 goals against Athletic Bilbao (3 vs. 2 Barcelona wins) on the 7th. Just a few days ago, Messi, who was two goals behind the leading group to score, quickly rose to first place alone with 11 goals in the league (4 assists in 17 matches). I looked down at Herard Moreno (10 goals, Villarreal) and 9 goals Luis Suárez (Atletico Madrid) and Iago Aspas (Celta Vigo).
Antoine Griezmann’s lead goal was 1-0 in the first 35 minutes, and Messi, who received the ball from the front of the penalty area, put a left-footed shot into the corner of the net. Even though the two defenders were surrounded, he kept the ball calmly, and as soon as the shooting angle was reached, he made an exquisite trajectory and scored additional goals. Seven minutes later, he scored a free kick with his left foot almost the same as the first goal. Expecting the jump of the defensive wall, he tactfully laid it under his feet and opened the goal. In the 18th minute of the second half, Barcelona were undefeated in eight games, including three consecutive wins, adding Griez’s own goal. Barcelona, who rose to third place in the league (34 points), pressed second place Real Madrid (37 points) by three points. The lead is Atletico Madrid, who are scoring 38 points after playing three less games than Barcelona and Real Madrid.
Messi scored the 10th and 11th goals that day, setting a double-digit league score for 15 consecutive seasons. According to statistics site Opta, Messi is the first to score more than 10 goals in 15 consecutive seasons in the Primera Liga. If this season also finishes with No. 1 goal, the title will be held for five consecutive seasons. Messi also wears a Barcelona uniform for 17 seasons, accumulating 648 goals (752 matches) in the official game, surpassing Pele, the’football emperor’ who scored 643 goals in Santos, Brazil, and is increasing the record of the single club’s highest score.
