Lionel Messi scored 1 goal in Sunday's La Liga meeting with Valencia which made it an incredible 450 goals which he has scored for his club, Barcelona and his 500th career goal.
Messi, who made his 525th appearance for Barca, has now scored an incredible 450 goals for the Liga champions, while he has a total of 50 for Argentina from his 107 caps for the national team.
He scored his 1st goal for Barcelona back in May 2005 against Albacete as a 17-year-old, while his 1st strike for the national team came a little under a year later in March 2006 during a 3-2 friendly defeat to Croatia.
With his 450 goals for Barca, Messi is way out in front as the club's all-time leading scorer, while his 50 for Argentina puts him in 2nd place in the list of the national team's highest ever scorers, 6 behind Gabriel Batistuta.
Although compared to Cristiano Ronaldo, who hit the 500 career-goals mark back in September 2015, Messi is currently trailing by 39 goals, with Ronaldo having scored his 539th after netting in the club's 5-1 win over Getafe.
