According to statistics from BeSoccerPro, Leo Messi is a real executioner in Spain and is the player who has scored the most goals against 21 different teams in Spain.
Leo Messi’s night against SD Huesca was historic for four reasons. First of all, he equaled Xavi as Barcelona player with the most official matches. In addition, it has also seen him equal Iker Casillas and Raúl Garcia as the seventh most-appearing player in La Liga history. He also reached 13 consecutive seasons scoring 20 or more goals in the league.
And then another, just as impressive. By scoring his second goal of the night on Monday night, Leo Messi made Huesca his 21st victim. In which domain ? As with 20 other teams, Messi became the player to have scored the most goals against Huesca. The Argentine scored a total of 4 goals against Huesca, making him the striker who has scored the most goals against the team, tied with Iago Aspas.
Thirteen of these twenty victims still play in La Liga: Sevilla (30 goals), Atletico Madrid (26), Valencia (25), Osasuna (23), Levante (22), Betis (22), Eibar (20), Real Madrid ( 18), Athletic (18), Villarreal (15), Granada (14) and Alavés (12).
For the rest, most now play in the Spanish second division: Espanyol (22), Rayo Vallecano (17), Mallorca (14), Zaragoza (13, tied with Puskas and Raúl), Almeria (11), Leganes (9) and Girona (4, tied with Charles, Cristiano Ronaldo and Luis Suarez).
The list is completed by Deportivo de La Coruna (20), which is no longer part of the categories of professional football today.
What is curious is that the 22nd victim of Messi could fall in the next few days. Indeed, Real Sociedad may become the 22nd victim of the Pulga, as Barça will face the San Sebastian team this weekend. Messi has scored 21 goals against Real, and scoring one would put him on par with Gorostiza, Santillana and Cristiano Ronaldo’s 15.
