Leo Messi is currently three strikes away from scoring his 700th goal in competitive games with Barcelona and the Argentina national team. The forward is now on the verge of another career landmark.

As reported by WhoScored, Leo Messi leads the way in the combined goal and assist stakes across the five major European leagues since August 2017, with a tally of 126.

 

 

Five years ago today, Leo Messi netted the greatest-ever goal scored in a Copa del Rey final and one of the finest strikes of his career. The Argentine opened the scoring after weaving his way past a number of Athletic players in a game in which Barcelona ran out 3-1 winners.
