Messi Scores 613 Goals In 700 Barcelona Appearances

Lionel Messi has reportedly scored 613 goals on his 700th Barcelona appearance as they reached the knockout stages of the Champions League with a win over Borussia Dortmund.

The Argentine, who has now scored 114 goals in the competition, was the catalyst for Barcelona’s best work throughout.

He assisted Luis Suarez for the opener, with the Uruguay forward finding the bottom left corner of the Dortmund goal, moments after being caught offside when converting another Messi pass.

Messi led four minutes later, registering his 613th goal for the club, with a left-foot effort from eight yards and later in the 67 minute Antonio Griezmann completed a comfortable win with his rasping drive into the bottom right corner coming from another incisive Messi assist.
