In the matches of the Spanish championship, Lionel Messi, who scored three goals in the gates of Pamplona's "Osasuna" team, rewrote the history of "Barcelona".
From now on, the Argentine is the most productive footballer in the history of the Catalan club. He has scored 371 goals in 453 matches.
Until then, Paulino Alcantara, who had scored 369 times in 357 games, had been the record holder. The footballer born in the Philippines defended the colors of the Catalan club from 1912 to 1927 with a two-season break.
L. Messi has scored 233 goals in the Spanish national championships, 67 in the Champions League, 29 in the Spanish King's Cup matches, 10 in the Spanish Super Cup matches, and 4 in the Club World Championship. The Argentine also scored 1 goal in the European Super Cup matches and defeated opponents' goalkeepers 27 times in friendly matches.
The footballer has 78 "doubles", 23 "hat-tricks", and 4 "pokers" to his name. Once again, L. Messi scored 5 goals in a single match.
By the way, next weekend, the leader of Barcelona's attacks has the opportunity to climb one step higher in the list of the most productive players in the history of the Spanish championship.
L. Messi, who has disappointed opponents' goalkeepers 233 times, has scored just one goal less than the former Real Madrid star Hugo Sanchez, who scored 234 times.
The Argentine is also not far from reaching the achievement of the most productive player in the history of La Liga. The legendary Basque Telmo Zarra from Bilbao's "Athletic" is still leading with 251 goals.
