Leo Messi Makes History as FC Barcelona Scores 5,000th LaLiga Goal

In a thrilling match between FC Barcelona and Racing Santander, Leo Messi once again proved his prowess on the field. The game, which took place 15 years ago, saw the Cantabrians take the lead through their formidable striker, Nikola Zigic. However, Messi, as a substitute, quickly equalized the scoreline with a brilliant goal. But it was in the 80th minute that Messi truly made history.

With just ten minutes remaining on the clock and the possibility of an eight-game winning streak ending, Messi displayed his exceptional skills and determination. With a stunning right-footed volley, he not only secured the victory for Barça but also scored the club’s 5,000th LaLiga goal. This milestone firmly placed him among the legendary players who have contributed to the team’s incredible goal-scoring history.

Since that memorable day, FC Barcelona has continued to dominate LaLiga, and their goal tally has now reached 6,442. Just recently, Vitor Roque added another goal to their impressive count during a match against Osasuna. Notably, Messi has not only scored the 5,000th but also the 6,000th goal, firmly establishing his place in the club’s record books.

As we contemplate the possibility of reaching 7,000 goals, the question arises as to who might achieve this remarkable feat. With over 500 goals still remaining, it is an intriguing challenge to envision which player will etch their name into the history of FC Barcelona.
