Lionel Messi
has 825 goals in his career.
The last one, this early Friday morning in Tennessee, marked another milestone.
It was his first goal in the
Concacaf Champions Cup
, popularly known as
Concachampions
.
The fact is that the partial 1-2 against
Nashville SC
, in the first leg of the round of 16, allowed him to add a different celebration although with one of his trademarks: left foot shot from the crescent against the rival goalkeeper's near post.
The goal, which he scored 7 minutes into the second half after an assist from his friend Luis Suárez, allowed him to celebrate in his twelfth club competition.
Awesome.
It is added to his shouts in the Spanish League, Champions League, Copa del Rey, French Ligue 1, Spanish Second B, Spanish Super Cup, United States MLS, Leagues Cup, Club World Cup, European Super Cup and Trophy of Champions of France.
MESSI.
ONE OF CRACK...

He was only unable to celebrate his own goals in just two tournaments he played: the French Cup - he will no longer have revenge - and the US Open Cup in the United States - where he had two assists in his debut season with Inter Miami.
To that we must add his shouts in the Argentine National Team, where he accumulates goals with the Major, the Sub 23 and the Sub 20. The goal at the Geodis Park in Nashville allowed him to shorten the difference a little with Cristiano Ronaldo, who has 877 shouts Throughout his 1,210 career games - 162 were penalties.
An average of 0.72 per match.
Messi's 825, on the other hand, were in 1,051 appearances and only 108 were from 12 steps.
Yes, La Pulga's average is higher: 0.78 per game.
