Lionel Messi joins 643 club......

[S7DiscoDown]

Scored his 643rd goal for Barcelona

I don't follow Spanish football but..... 'take a bow son'

That's a stunning amount of goals at any level.

Simply the best.

What a tune!

What a tune!

I would agree (as would they....).

I reckon SCG would have sorted Messi out with a decent Ford Escort.

The bloke is just a pleasure to watch.

He’s not just a goal scorer neither, he brings much more than that to the game.

Will be a sad day when he finally hangs his boots up.

No one will change my mind of him being the GOAT

Messi scores 1, Ronaldo gets 2!

at their peak I’d go for messi, for overall longevity it’s ronaldo for me, the greatest ever

 

[Lefty]

Messi brings the best out of the great players around him, in fact he makes them extraordinary.

That is why I think Messi is greater than Ronaldo. I’m pretty sure Ronaldo would win a one on one match, but footy is a team game after all.

Lovely message from Pele-
'When your heart overflows withe love, it is difficult to change your path. Like you, I know what it's like to love wearing the same shirt every day. Like you, I know that there is nothing better than the place we feel at home. Congratulations on your historic record, Lionel. But above all, congratulations on your beautiful career at Barcelona. Stories like ours, of loving the same club for so long, unfortunately will be increasingly rare in football, I admire you very much'.
