Lionel Messi reached his 500-goal milestone for Barcelona and Argentina

[Ibrahimovic10]

It is the latest landmark in a remarkable career and comes less than 11 years after the then 17-year-old's first senior goal against Albacete in May 2005.

Messi is Barcelona's all-time leading scorer, and he also tops the charts in La Liga history, with 309 goals putting him well ahead of Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo on 256.

"The figure is from another galaxy," said Barca boss Luis Enrique when asked about the achievement.

Twelve seasons and 631 games as a professional. That’s what Messi needed to reach 500 career goals, with 450 of them coming for his club and the other 50 for Argentina.

Is this a bot? Why would anyone care about that little fucktard on Milan forum?

[reza]

Possible yes. Sometimes bots hide a link in the post, haven't seen it here though.

[am I Milan enough?]

Who is Messi btw?

[somedevil]

He's that guy who plays in MLS for Real Salt Lake city. Not a bad scoring rate for a defender.
