On this day three years ago, Argentine football star Lionel Messi set a new world record for the most goals scored for a single club.

It was on December 23, 2020, that the then captain of the Catalan “Barcelona” scored his 644th goal for the club against Valladolid. The meeting took place within the framework of the Spanish Championship and ended with a score of 3:0 in favor of Barça, La Liga recalled on its social media account.

On that day, the Argentinean surpassed the Brazilian footballer Pele, who once scored 643 goals as part of the Santos club, for which he played from 1956 to 1974. After the record goal, the Brazilian congratulated the Argentine on social networks.

Let us remember that Messi played 778 matches for Barcelona and scored 672 goals. He holds the team’s record for the number of games played and goals scored. After leaving Barcelona, the Argentine played for PSG, and last summer he moved to Inter Miami.
