Messi Joins Ronaldo in 700-Club with Barcelona Goal vs Atletico

Messi joins Ronaldo in the 700-club with the target of Barcelona vs Atletico.

Lionel Messi joined Cristiano Ronaldo as a player who scored 700 career goals as he scored against Atletico Madrid during Barcelona's La Liga.

Messi scored a Panenka penalty to take him to 700, with 630 of his strikes coming for Barcelona and 70 for Argentina.

He joins his long-term foe Ronaldo, who netted his 700th last October, with a pair of seven reaching a big total.

Both are the only two current players to hit 700, while some have been inactive for a long time.

Pele also produced more than 700 Czech strikers Josef Bican, who netted 805 goals in 530 games in a career disrupted by World War II and was also a member of the elite club.

The Hungarian hero Ferenc Puskas-746 goals out of 754 games-is fourth ahead of the German great Gerd Muller, who recorded 735 out of 793.      

 Though the fans were centered on Messi tonight, they thanked the magic man.

One wrote: “700 Goals for the Greatest Player of All Time. Lionel Messi. Crazy.”

While another put: “Lionel Messi has 700 goals without being an out and out striker. For a player who is as selfless as he is prolific, to still be able to score 700 goals is utterly ridiculous. He’s the greatest footballer we’ll ever witness.”

And a third added: “700 FOR THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!! LIONEL MESSI.”

Another wrote: “Lionel #Messi is the greatest of all time. Fact. He sees things in slow motion. Actual superhero.”

While one more commented: "Both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have scored 700 career goals UNREAL!!!!"

Despite Messi’s superb record, Barcelona boss Quique Setien recently spoke about how the star is not all about goals.

"Leo is fine. You don't only have to assess the goals he scored, but also the rest of his contributions, like assisting. That gives us a lot of points," he said.

"It's an astronomical number. I think he's reached 700 goals and that's why he's the best player in the world."
