The goalkeepers (?) who helped “football god” Lionel Messi (33, Barcelona) record the most scoring in a single club were given special and bitter gifts.
The British Daily Mail said on the 24th (local time), “Beer brand Budweiser sent a special beer gift to 160 goalkeepers who contributed to Messi’s ‘644 goals record’.”
Messi scored his 644 goals in Barcelona in the 15th round away match between Real Valladolid and Spanish professional football Primera Liga in the 2020-2021 season.
With this goal, Messi made a new history beyond the single club’s most goals (643 goals) held by Pele, the’football emperor’.
To celebrate Messi’s record, Budweiser prepared 644 bottles of beer with goal numbers 1-644 on it and presented it to the goalkeepers who allowed each goal.
It’s a painful memory for the 160 goalkeepers, but as a result, their losses helped Messi’s record.
Juventus (Italy) veteran goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, who scored multiple goals for Messi in the UEFA Champions League group stage in the 2017-2018 season, received two bottles of beer with the numbers ‘514’ and ‘515’.
Buffon posted a photo on his Twitter and said, “I’ll take it as a compliment.” “We’ve been having a great fight for years. Congratulations to Messi’s 644 goals. It’s an amazing achievement. Cheers!”
Atletico Madrid (Spain) goalkeeper Jan Oblak, who allowed Messi to score 11 goals, and Chelsea (England) goalkeeper Kepa Arisavalaga, who scored two goals, congratulated Messi with a gift verification shot.
Messi has scored the most 19 goals against former Valencia (Spain) goalkeeper Giego Auves, as well as 17 against Real Madrid (Spain)’Legend’ Iker Casillas.
They also seem to have received generous gifts.
Beer ‘644’ was awarded by Valladolid goalkeeper Hordi Marsip, the protagonist who scored Messi’s 644th goal.
