The Barcelona forward scored his 644th goal in the club’s 3-0 win over Real Valladolid, edging ahead of Pelé’s 643 goals for Santos scored between 1957-1974. Messi scored his first goal for Barcelona on May 1, 2005.
One thing we should not forget is, the trade request from Messi during offseason. If Barcelona fulfilled his wish to leave the Club, today Messi might have missed the opportunity to surpass the great Pele’s record.
The most goals for a single club:
- Lionel Messi – 644
- Pele – 643
- Gerd Müller – 564
