Barcelona star Lionel Messi reached 700 goals for club and country after scoring a penalty against Atletico Madrid.
The Catalans drew 2-2 with Diego Simeone’s men on Tuesday evening, but the Argentine was on the score sheet.
Messi cheekily scored from the penalty, opting for a Panenka, to draw Barcelona to put Barcelona 2-1 up.
While the goal was overall the 700th of his career, it was also the 33-year-old’s 630th in 724 appearance for the club.
