Last night, Lionel Messi scored his 800th career goal for club and country in Argentina's friendly win over Panama, sending the sold-out crowd at Monumental Stadium into delirium.
According to the International Federation of Football History & Statistics (IFFHS), Messi is just the second man ever to reach the 800 career-goal landmark, after Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Portuguese star scored his 800th goal in December 2021.
Nonetheless, there is some dispute between other sources due to historical inconsistencies in the classification of "official" goals scored in "official" competitions.
Brazilian great Pele claims to have scored more than 1,000 goals during his career.
