Lionel Messi has become the first player to score 400 La Liga goals after netting against Eibar on Sunday.

The Argentine made it 2-0 when he netted for the Liga leaders at Camp Nou, extending his record as the highest scorer in the Spanish top flight's history.

Incredibly, Messi only took 435 games to get to his 400th goal, scoring an average of 0.92 goals per game.Image result for messi 400 la liga goals

Messi, 31, has scored eight goals in his past five league games, including a double against Espanyol and ahat trick against Levante.

His record looks set to stand for many years to come, as Aritz Aduriz is the next top scorer to be currently playing in La Liga with 157 goals in 422 games.

The strike makes Messi the second player to have scored 400 goals in any of Europe's top five leagues, reaching the milestone in 63 games fewer than Cristiano Ronaldo did, and he has now nearly doubled Alan Shearer's Premier League record of 260 strikes.

The 31-year-old's first goal came back in 2005 against Albacete when he was just 17 years of age and was assisted by Barca and Brazil legend Ronaldinho, who scored 70 league goals for the Catalan club in 145 appearances.

Among his 400 finishes have been 83 braces and 31 hat-tricks, helping to put him 89 goals ahead of the league's second top-scorer Ronaldo.

Next on the list is Telmo Zarra, who played for Athletic Bilbao from 1940 to 1955, with 251 efforts. He is followed by Mexican Hugo Sanchez with 234 and Real Madrid legend Raul with 228.

Messi's dominance has not been confined to the league though, and in all competitions he has scored 575 goals.

That gives him a colossal lead over Luis Suarez, who is the second-highest active scorer for Barca with 166 tallies.

You are to me the greatest anyways.

#RESPECT to the best player in the HISTORY of soccer....

To RONALDO's fans, Ororo is also the BEST please!

Anybody wen Talk say Ronaldo Better pass this guy nor get sense at all... Na cra.ze dey e head. Ronaldo is better describe as a striker(goal poacher) while Messi as an attacking midfielder but are u not surprised that messi equals him in goals too? Messi plays the attacking midfielder very well, passes very well, supports very well and even scores(the only thing Ronaldo does). I'm Not hating..... Ronaldo knows Messi is superb & greater than him. Messi brought out the best in ronaldo. When Messi dey shine who know Ronaldo back then? 2009, 2010,2011? Lol... He came to laliga & Messi gave him the boost.... That's why I tell people that messi helped alot of guys to fame e.g ronaldo, iniesta, xavi, suarez, neymar( this one left & he's dying... Mpabbe will shine above him in psg). Messi is the god of football. He's so superb....... Iniesta, xavi & others are gone & wailers can confirm he's a masterpiece on his own..... Ronaldo will drop in his drive for football since he has move to juve... Not age factor.... Just watch! Coutinho has come to barca.... watch him shine. He will be groomed by Messi

Messi can be associated with sneijder, maradona, pele etc.... But Ronaldo can only be associated with the King(messi)
