Lionel Messi, who has become a true football god beyond legend, has set a new record in football history.
Messi broke the record for the single club’s highest goal score for’football emperor’ Pele (Brazil).
Messi helped FC Barcelona’s 3-0 victory in the 20th minute after assisting the first goal in the 2020-2021 season’s La Liga away game in the 15th round at Jose Sorija Stadium in Valladolid, Spain on the 23rd.
Messi’s goal that day was also a goal that rewritten football history.
Having played only in Barcelona since his debut, Messi has increased his professional career goals to 644 with this goal, breaking the record of Pele, who scored 643 goals for Santos (Brazil), and set the record for the single most goals in a single club.
Messi has reached a big record faster than Pele and has already scored double digits this season, and Messi’s record-breaking record is ongoing.
Pele also took 19 seasons (1956-1974) to score 643 goals while playing at one club in Santos, while Messi scored 644 goals in 17 seasons from 2004-2005 to this season.
In particular, Messi’s new record over Pele seems very likely to remain’immortal’. This is because in modern football, where transfers are more frequent than in the past, it is increasingly difficult to find a player who plays for a long time in one team.
According to ESPN, Gert Müller (565 goals, Bayern Munich), Fernando Peyrotéu (544 goals, Sporting), and Josef Bicchan (534 goals, Slavia Prague) scored 3-5 goals after Messi and Pele. It sits above. These are all’legends’ long after they have died or retired.
On the other hand, Barcelona, who was undefeated in 4 games (3 wins and 1 draw), raised the ranking to 5th place (24 points), chasing the lead (32 points) Atletico Madrid and 2nd place (29 points) Real Madrid.
