FC Barcelona still has the scent of Lionel Messi (37, Inter Miami) in the air.
“Our club has made history by scoring 6,500 goals in La Liga,” FC Barcelona announced on the club’s official website on Saturday.
Barcelona faced Getafe CF in the seventh round of the 2024-2025 La Liga season on Saturday and won 1-0 thanks to a Roberto Lewandowski goal.
“This monumental goal was scored by Lewandowski. With their seventh straight win in La Liga, Barcelona became the first team in La Liga history to score 6,500 goals. Rival Real Madrid have 6,499 goals, one less than us,” he boasted.
“These goals were scored in a total of 3,035 league matches, an average of 2.14 goals per game,” the club continued.
“During this period, Barcelona won 1,766 games, drew 613 and lost 656. While scoring 6,500 goals in attack, they conceded 3,362 goals in defense.”
This record reaffirms Lionel Messi’s dominance.
Messi, who made his La Liga debut in the 2004-2005 season, would go on to play for 17 seasons until he left for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), 카지노사이트 scoring 672 goals and providing 305 assists in 778 appearances.
According to TransferMarkt, Messi played 520 games in La Liga alone, scoring 474 goals and providing 216 assists. TransferMarkt is a slightly different source for assists, but it’s safe to say that roughly 690 of Messi’s goals have come through his feet.
Barcelona was founded in 1899. That’s more than 10% of the 6,500 goals they’ve scored in 124 years.
Barcelona is still producing top-notch talent. Pablo Gabi, Pedri, Ansu Pati, and now Lamine Yamal is on his way to becoming one of the best in the world. But Lionel Messi is still the dominant force at Barcelona.
