"GOAL! Messi all on his own as Valencia get caught on the break. 2-0, this one is a wrap. #beINLaLiga http://t.co/LsTmvG2EZ8 — beIN SPORTS USA (@beINSPORTSUSA) April 18, 2015 "

Lionel Messi, in simplest terms, is very good at soccer. The Argentine is so consistently excellent you almost lost track of all the records and accomplishment he’s achieved during his 11-year career. Saturday he notched another milestone, his 400th goal for Barcelona via a breakaway in stoppage time. If not for the milestone, this goal probably wouldn’t be among the Top, say, 350 goals in Messi’s career, but why split hairs?

Either way 400 goals in 471 appearances for the club is an astounding achievement.

Lionel Messi scores his 400th goal for Barcelona. That's 168 more than any other player.
