Lionel Messi is destroying Premier League teams! See how many goals he’s already scored against them

A legend of world football, there is no other way to call Lionel Messi. Yes, the Argentine international has already broken many records, but there is one he can be truly proud of. How many times has he hit the nets of English teams? Well, the number is high indeed.

No one else has scored more goals than Messi. Here’s a stat posted by Bleacher Report Football on their Twitter account.

That success rate is impressive indeed. It should also be noted that Messi has never featured in the English top flight. Indeed, if a player is aiming for a certain record, it is always a problem if he does not operate in that league.

This makes achieving the goal all the more difficult. That is what makes this statistic so special.

He even scored twice against Manchester United in the Champions League final, in the 2008/09 and 2010/11 seasons. Both finals were won by Barcelona, the first time 2: 0, the second time 3: 1.

You will also remember the Blaugrana’s match against Arsenal in 2009/10, when he set the London side up with four goals in the quarter-finals, destroying their hopes of progression.

19. on October 2016, he flashed a hat-trick against Manchester City, and he added two more important goals on May 1, 2019 in the semi-final match against Liverpool. At home, the Catalan side won 3-0, but after a 0-4 defeat at Anfield Road, the English team enjoyed the promotion.

It should be noted that in terms of the Champions League, Messi has been most successful against Arsenal. Now, of course, we take into account all teams, not just those from the Premier League. He has scored nine goals for the Canaries, with only six games to show for it.

AC Milan and Celtic Glasgow (8 goals), Manchester City and Bayer Leverkusen (7 goals) and PSG and Ajax Amsterdam round out the top seven, against whom Messi has scored six times.
