Messi scores 900th goal against Nashville SC in Concacaf Champions Cup: here is how his goals have been distributed by club
Messi put himself in rarified air tonight from Nashville as he joined the 900 club with a goal against Nashville United in the Concacaf Champions Cup.
There aren’t many things that Lionel Messi hasn’t done over the course his legendary carrer. He’s the man of a million milestones but when you play this long, each match and each goal becomes a chance to make history. On Wednesday night Messi made magic happen again with goal number 900 in his career.
Another milestone for Messi
The teenage sensation that dazzled at La Maisa, that rocketed on to the international scene with FC Barcelona and went on to win eight Balon D’Ors is back making history. Today he did it from Fort Lauderdale in the Concacaf Champions Cup with Inter Miami in the second leg of their round of 16 match.
After being held without his historic No. 900 in the first leg against Nashville SC, it took Messi just seven minutes to get on the scoresheet and join just one other player that has scored 900 or more goals in their professional career. It’s Cristiano Ronaldo with 965 and Lionel Messi. That´s it. The closest to them is Pele with 762, and the closest player that is still playing is Robert Lewandowski with 693.
Messi etched his legacy in Barcelona, but has found success everywhere he goes and now he is shredding the MLS and international tournaments to shreds since making the move stateside. After 15 years with his childhood team FC Barcelona, he moved to PSG for two years before coming to Miami. Underlying his one of a kind club career are two decades of world class soccer and a World Cup with Argentina. Here is the breakdown of Messi’s 900 goals with each team.
