The Argentine maestro scored his 444th La Liga goal in Barcelona’s 3-0 victory over Valladolid on Tuesday, surpassing the previous record held by Telmo Zarra. Messi’s goal came in the 65th minute, when he received a pass from Jordi Alba inside the area and unleashed a trademark left-footed shot into the bottom corner. The Camp Nou erupted in a thunderous roar as the record-breaking moment was witnessed by the adoring crowd. The goal was Messi’s 10th of the season and his first since returning from injury. It was also his 644th goal for Barcelona in all competitions, further cementing his status as the club’s all-time leading scorer. The achievement is a testament to Messi’s extraordinary longevity and consistency at the highest level. The 33-year-old has been a key figure in Barcelona’s success for over a decade, winning 10 La Liga titles, four Champions League titles, and six Ballon d’Or awards. After the match, Messi expressed his gratitude to his teammates and the fans. “It’s a very special day for me,” he said. “I’ve always said that this is my home and I’m grateful for everything that the people of Barcelona have given me.” Zarra, who held the previous La Liga scoring record, played for Athletic Bilbao from 1927 to 1955. He scored 251 goals in 278 La Liga appearances, a remarkable achievement considering the era in which he played. Messi’s record-breaking goal has further established his status as one of the greatest players of all time.
