Lionel Messi trumps the great Pele
Barcelona’s superstar now holds 644 goals for a club, which not even Pele did for Santos. Spanish media headlines: “We will never see someone like him again.”
The annihilation of a goal record by football legend Pele has moved the otherwise taciturn superstar Lionel Messi to an emotional review. “When I started playing soccer, I never would have thought it possible that I would break any record. Especially not the one I set today and that Pele had so far,” wrote the 33-year-old Argentinian professional des FC Barcelona on Instagram.
In the 3-0 victory of the Catalans at Real Valladolid on Tuesday evening, Messi set the all-time high in the 65th minute: After Pedri made a beautiful pass from his feet, Messi scored his 644th goal for Barca. Never before had a professional hit the net so often for a single club. The now 80-year-old Brazilian Pele once scored 643 goals for FC Santos.
The newspaper “Mundo Deportivo” printed the number 644 in capital letters on page one on Wednesday and wrote under it: “Legend Messi”. “We will never see someone like him again,” commented the Spanish league. Before getting on a private plane to celebrate Christmas in Argentina, Messi thanked fellow players, family, friends and “everyone who supports me every day”.
