Messi scored a heading equalizer in the 49th minute of the first half when the team was dragged 0-1 in the 14th round of the Primera Liga home game against Valencia held at Camnow in Barcelona on the 20th (Korean time). After debuting in the first team in 2004 after working through the Barcelona youth team, it is the 643th goal written in 748 matches.

This is the same record as the number of goals (643 goals) in a single team by Pele, the soccer emperor, playing for Santos in Brazil from 1956 to 1974. With just one goal added in Barcelona, ​​Messi will set a new record beyond Pele’s record, which no one could ever break.

“I know what it feels like to wear the same uniform every day, like you,” Pele wrote on his Facebook page. “I congratulate you on making a historical record, and above all, a beautiful achievement in Barcelona.” “The story of loving one club for a long time, unfortunately, will gradually become difficult to see in the football world,” he added. “So I respect you very much.”

Pele also posted a picture of Messi performing a goal ceremony’looks like her’. After scoring the opening goal in the Mexico World Cup final against Italy in 1970, he raised one fist in the arms of a colleague, and Messi was also in the arms of Uzman Dembele in the 50th hat-trick in Seville last February. His fists were clenched in a form.

Barcelona placed 5th in the league (21 points) by drawing 2-2 against Valencia. Valencia’s Lee Kang-in was replaced in the second half of the 45 minute and hit the ground in about a month.
