This weekend, with the start of Ligue 1, Lionel Messi managed to score two goals (one from a bicycle kick) and an assist against Clermont. With these two goals and the assistance, Messi would have exceeded 1,000 goal contributions with the clubs, according to the newspaper ACE from Spain.
The vast majority of these goals and passes have been achieved with FC Barcelona, where he has spent practically his entire career (except last season and this new one that is beginning). The fact that stands out the most is that he is the top scorer in the Spanish league, with 474 goals. Another great fact is that he is the second highest scorer in the Champions League (123), only behind Cristiano Ronaldo (139).
Messi has always shown that, despite not being a center forward, he is a great goalscorer. But in addition to being one of the best scorers in history, he has also shown that he is one of the best assists. According to Transfermarktof the 812 games played between Barcelona and PSG, Messi has added a total of 684 goals and has distributed 318 assists.
After this last game, Messi has achieved another record that is within the reach of very few, showing that he is a unique player. But this figure will continue to increase, since the domestic competitions have just started and the whole season remains. In addition to the fact that it will not be Messi’s last season.
Now, if he wants to continue breaking records, he will have to try to be the top scorer in the Champions League, being only 16 goals behind his greatest rival, Cristiano Ronaldo, who, if his situation does not change, will not play in the top European competition this year. (D)
