Ammon News - Messi scores 644th Barcelona goal in win over Real Valladolid.

Lionel Messi became the all-time top scorer for a single football club after scoring his 644th goal for Barcelona during their La Liga match against Real Valladolid, surpassing Pelé’s record goal haul for the Brazilian side Santos.

The 33-year-old Argentinian, who matched Pelé’s record of 643 goals with a strike against Valencia on Saturday, scored to make it 3-0 to Barça at Valladolid, running in behind to meet a pass from teenager Pedri and slotting the ball into the far bottom corner.

The goal capped a brilliant individual and team display, with Messi setting up the opening goal for Clément Lenglet and he also had a hand in Barça’s second goal, laying on a pass for Sergiño Dest who crossed for Martin Braithwaite to score in the 35th minute.
