Messi touches Pele´s record of 643rd goal for single club

Lionel Messi equalled Brazil legend Pele's record of 643 goals for a single club by scoring for Barcelona in Saturday's draw against Valencia, reported British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).

The Argentine, 33, achieved the feat with a diving header just before half-time, immediately after his penalty was saved by keeper Jaume Domenech, said the BBC report.

Messi scored his first goal for Barca in 2005 against Albacete.

Pele scored 643 goals in 19 seasons for Brazilian side Santos between 1956 and 1974.

Sadly, for Messi, his celebrations will likely be muted after Barcelona failed to beat their mid-table opponents, the report added.
