LIONEL MESSI BECOMES LA LIGA’S ALL-TIME TOP SCORER WITH 253 GOALS
Lionel Messi etched his name deeper into football history on Saturday by becoming La Liga’s all-time leading goalscorer. With a stunning hat-trick against Sevilla, the FC Barcelona legend surpassed the previous record of 251 goals held by Telmo Zarra since the 1950s, reaching an incredible 253 goals in Spain’s top flight.
Messi scored in the 21st, 72nd, and 78th minutes, sealing a 5-1 win for Barça and marking yet another unforgettable chapter in his illustrious career.
After the match, Messi shared a heartfelt message on Facebook:
“When I scored that goal, my first in La Liga (in 2005), I didn’t imagine I could beat any record, much less that of the great Telmo Zarra. Today, I’ve achieved it thanks to the support of so many people who have helped me over the years. The record is for all of them, thank you for always being with me. It’s also for all those who supported me and are no longer with us today. I continue to think about them a lot. Thank you all!”
