How Lionel Messi reached his 500-goal milestone for Barcelona and Argentina
Lionel Messi took his career goals tally to 500 when he scored in Barcelona's surprise 2-1 home defeat by Spanish La Liga rivals Valencia.
It is the latest landmark in a remarkable career and comes less than 11 years after the then 17-year-old's first senior goal against Albacete in May 2005.
"The figure is from another galaxy," said Barca boss Luis Enrique when asked about the achievement.
Here, we take a closer look at how the Argentina forward reached the landmark for club and country.
QUITE REMARKABLE

what a bad boy,,talk about getting off lightly :@
Lionel Messi has been sentenced to 21 months in jail for tax fraud by a Spanish court.
Under Spanish law any sentence under two years can be suspended meaning the Barcelona and Argentina footballer is expected to avoid serving time in prison.
The 29-year-old, among the world’s highest-earning athletes, was accused of creating a string of fake companies in Belize and Uruguay to avoid taxation on €4.16m (£3.2m) of image rights earnings between 2007 and 2009.
Messi, who took time out from Argentina’s preparations for the Copa America tournament this summer, said in court last month: “I was playing football; I had no idea about anything. I trusted my dad and my lawyers.”
The Argentinian’s father Jorge Horacio Messi has also been handed the same punishment.
During the trail, Messi said he never suspected any wrongdoing when his father would ask him to sign contracts or documents relating to his image rights, a lucrative source of income for any athlete of his calibre.
Witness Eva Blazquez, responsible for handling the four-time Champions League winner’s tax declarations, said: “Leo didn't see them. The final supervision was done by the client, in this case, Jorge Messi.”
Messi's father reiterated last month that his son didn't know the details of his contracts. “I didn't think it was necessary to inform him of everything,” he said. -

Barcelona's #WeAreAllLeoMessi social media campaign prompted mockery and condemnation in equal measure for encouraging fans to show their support for the club's talisman in the wake of being found guilty of defrauding the Spanish state of €4.1 million and being handed a suspended sentence of 21 months in jail. -

The whole Messi thing is an amusing story especially the Twitter campaign by Barca, I don't think ignorance can be a legal excuse but there is no way that Messi will make the same mistake again for sure -

Cristiano Ronaldo has to be the best. I'd much rather watch Ronaldo at the top of his game. He's much more entertaining. -

Lionel Messi: Barcelona forward scores 500th club goal
Barcelona are celebrating another Lionel Messi landmark, after the Argentina forward scored his 500th goal for the club on Sunday.
The 29-year-old netted Barcelona's first in a 2-1 win over Sevilla.
That took Messi to 500 in 592 games for the Catalan club, including friendlies, with 469 of those in official fixtures.
Messi is now 105 goals clear of second all-time top scorer Paulino Alcantara, who played for Barcelona in two spells between 1912 and 1927.
In April, the forward scored his 500th career goal, including internationals, in Barcelona's 2-1 defeat by Valencia.
Messi's first senior goal for the La Liga club came as a 17-year-old against Albacete in May 2005.
The Argentine has now scored 320 goals in Spain's top flight, to add to his 90 in the Champions League.
The rest of Messi's official Barcelona goals have come in Spanish cup competitions, the Uefa Super Cup and Fifa Club World Cup.
He broke Barcelona's goals scored in official matches record - previously held by Cesar Rodriguez, who played for the club in the 1940s and 1950s - in 2012. -

Here's a compilation of the great man 'Dropping Players on the Floor' with his natty dribbling skills.
4 minutes worth of video, and these are just the incidents from this season! I think it's time they moved him up an age-group, he's clearly outgrown football at this level.
