Messi is close to 900 goals! He hits 1,000 goals and is the first person in scoring history!

November 15th. In Argentina's 2-0 friendly win over Angola, Messi once again demonstrated his dominance as the only player in history. With 1 goal and 1 assist, he clocked in early, scored all the goals in the game, and was named the best player with 8.1 points. The Argentine captain made the away fans switch sides collectively, proving in the most direct way what the "Messi effect" is.

After this campaign, Messi's career data was updated to 1,135 games with 896 goals and 402 assists, and the number of goals he directly participated in reached 1,298 goals. What's even more amazing is his always-maintained top efficiency - averaging 1.14 goals per game. Messi is only 4 goals away from the milestone of 900 goals and 400 assists, and has 1 more assist. This achievement that future generations look up to is only a matter of time for him.

Angola captain Freddy's speech after the game was quite representative: "He passed me twice, but then I also passed him once. Two to one." Behind this humorous self-deprecation is a complete admiration for his football skills. What is even more noteworthy is that the Angolan president personally presented a special trophy to Messi, demonstrating Messi's international influence beyond football. As Messi emphasized on INS: "I am very proud to continue to represent my country and the blue and white colors."

Standing at a new height of 896 goals, the 900-goal milestone is just around the corner. And a more ambitious goal is ahead - the double achievement of 1,000 career goals and 500 assists. Although 500 assists is a greater challenge, with a three-year contract extension, 1,000 goals has become a foreseeable historical node, and Messi can be the first person in scoring history. These data are all completed under the premise that Messi never deliberately pursues personal records and always puts the team first. As the player with the most appearances in the World Cup (26 games), he also maintains the historical records in all top venues such as the top scorer in the five major leagues, the top scorer in the El Clasico, and the key player in the Champions League final. This player who has never been obsessed with statistics has inadvertently created the most important data system in football history. When the first man in history continues to write legends in the purest way of football, we will eventually witness the most undisputed comprehensive dominance in football history.
