Lionel Messi rewrote the history of "Barcelona."
In the late Tuesday night match of the Spanish championship against the "Granada" team, the 24-year-old Catalan club's attacking leader scored three goals and surpassed Cesar Rodriguez, who had been in the lead for over half a century, in terms of official goals scored for "Barcelona."
"Barcelona," currently in second place, managed to overcome ambitious Andalusian footballers in incredibly productive matches, defeating them with a score of 5:3 in the second half.
In just the Spanish league, the superstar of the Catalan club has scored 34 goals, this season alone he has scored six hat-tricks, one poker, and even scored five times against Bayer Leverkusen in just 90 minutes.
Currently, L. Messi has a total of 234 goals. The Argentine, three-time consecutive best player in the world, has already scored 54 goals in all official tournaments this season alone.
It was previously believed that C. Rodriguez, who represented the Catalan team from 1939 to 1955, had scored 235 goals, but this week the statistics specialists of the Catalan club, together with journalists from "La Vanguardia," corrected the information and reduced the number of goals scored by the Spaniard by three - to 232.
Another "Barcelona" legend, Paulino Alcantara, has scored 369 goals in 357 matches, but this number includes friendly matches as well.
