Yes, that’s as wild as it reads.
For his career, Messi has a mere 622 goals and 254 assists in 710 matches with Barcelona.
That’s a 70.4 winning percentage.
Thursday’s second goal was vintage La Pulga Atómica, the Argentine blazing into the box and cutting to make a goalkeeper feel helpless, helpless, helpless.HIGHLIGHTS 5/5 | And finally, in MINUTE 89, it was time for #Messi to be, well, #Messi. The goat added an emphatic exclamation point (❗️) with this strike to round out the scoring as Barça cruised to a 5-0 win at Camp Nou ... GOOOOAL! 🤯 pic.twitter.com/3vCSHsQs9r
