Lionel Messi: all-time top scorer at LaLiga
LaLiga, the top professional football division of Spain, has seen some of the greatest football players in the world grace its pitches over the years. Among them, one player stands out as the all-time top scorer in the history of the league: Lionel Messi.
Lionel Messi has scored an astonishing 467 goals at LaLiga. This is an incredible accomplishment, considering the level of competition in the league and the number of high-quality players who have played there over the years.
Messi’s goal-scoring exploits in the Spanish top flight began in the 2004-2005 season when he made his debut for FC Barcelona at 17 years old. He went on to score his first goal for the club in a match against Albacete. From then on, he never looked back, and over the next 16 seasons, he would go on to score 466 more goals, averaging just under 30 goals per season.
Throughout his career, Messi has broken numerous records at LaLiga, including the most goals in a single season (50 in the 2011-2012 season), the most hat-tricks all-time (35), and the most goals scored at El Clásico (26), among others.
Messi’s performance in Spain’s highest tier has been nothing short of remarkable, and his ability to consistently score goals at a high level over the years is a testament to his incredible talent and work ethic. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest football players of all time, and his goal-scoring record at LaLiga only adds to his already impressive legacy.
Although “La Pulga” has left LaLiga, his achievements and records will remain forever as a testimony of his greatness and will be a tough challenge for any player who wants to surpass him.
Cristiano Ronaldo, the second top scorer of all time, is far behind with 311 goals. He is considered one of the best players in the world as well, but his records are incomparable with the Argentine.
In conclusion, Lionel Messi’s record as the all-time top scorer at the Primera División is a testament to his incredible talent and longevity as a professional football player. His goal-scoring exploits in the league will be remembered for years to come and will be a tough challenge for any player to surpass.
