Budweiser sent a beer to each goalkeeper who has conceded a Lionel Messi aim after the Argentinian celebrity netted his historic 644th strike for Barcelona this week, breaking Pele’s long-standing document for many targets for a single membership.
Messi, who helped Barcelona win 3-Zero at Valladolid, had equaled Pelé’s all-time scoring tally on Saturday. His 643rd profession aim for Barcelona since his 2004 debut matched Pelé’s tally for Santos from 1957-74.
What makes 644 much more particular?
The reality Leo Messi scored against the very best keepers on the earth to break the document.
Which is why we’ve sent customized bottles to all 160 keepers for all 644 targets, to toast their half in historical past. #BeAKing #Messi #KingOfBeers #KingOfFootball pic.twitter.com/pCPtXj0I8E
