Messi calls 400-Goal Hurl “Unbelievable”
Barcelona’s Lionel Messi has said he never imagined he could score over 400 goals in his career.
The 27 year-old Argentina captain passed the landmark with a brace in the Spanish side’s 6-0 home win over Granada on Saturday. He has scored 359 goals for Barcelona since making his debut in 2004, plus 42 strikes for Argentina, in 506 career appearances.
The four-time player of the year award winner is already widely considered as one of the all-time greatest players as he has been instrumental in helping Barcelona win 21 trophies, including six La Ligas and three Champions Leagues, in the past decade.
“I never imagined I could achieve anything like this in my career,” said Messi on his official Facebook page. “I’ll continue working hard to reach more targets.”
Messi also helped set up three goals against Granada as unbeaten Barcelona, who finished as runners-up last season, moved top of La Liga after six matches.
