Lionel Messi saves FC Barcelona and threatens Pele for this curious reason
Barça had a very hard time facing Levante but the Argentinian legend save his team and now threatens Pele.
FC Barcelona is facing a tremendous moment and Ronald Koeman is suffering a lot. When playing for LaLiga Week 13 on Nou Camp against Levante, the Catalan side could only win the game thanks to Lionel Messi, who scored the unique goal of the game on minute 76, very near to the end.
Messi saved Barça from the disaster that could have meant not winning against a rival who is supposed to be very inferior. Despite the win, the local team has just earned 17 points out of 11 games played and stands in the eight position. This Barcelona seems to be very far away from the one who fought every year for the title of the season, against Real Madrid or Atlético de Madrid.
Being the heroes once again, Messi is now chasing Brazilian legend Pele on an all-time record. The Argentinian scored today his goal number 643 with Barcelona and is one goal again from the 644 scored by Pele at Santos, that mean the record for a player in a single club during his professional career.
Messi has also scored today his goal number 600 with no. 10 jersey, considering that other 43 were scored by him with the two past numbers that he used, the 30 and 19. If the idol scores one more goal he will be breaking the record from Pele. It could be an historical time for him to make it, as it is rumored that he will be leaving to Manchester City or Paris Saint-Germain during the next transfer window.
