Lionel Messi’s goal in Barcelona’s La Liga win over Eibar gave him his 400th La Liga goal and made him the first player in the competition’s history to reach the milestone.
The 31-year-old Argentine magician broke into the Spanish club’s first team back in 2004. Since then, the Barça captain has been deadly in the final third and reached this incredible feat in 435 matches.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner scored his 399th goal against Getafe last week and followed it up with the record-breaking goal against Eibar today to give Barca a 2-0 lead.
Messi’s time at the Camp Nou has seen him win 32 trophies with the club — and there’ll be plenty more to come — which includes nine La Liga titles, four Champions Leagues, six Copa del Reys and seven Supercopa de Españas.
While Juventus star Cristiano Ronaldo issued him the challenge to come and play in Italy as he has done, Messi has no intention of leaving Barcelona behind.
