June 30 (UPI) — Barcelona forward Lionel Messi netted his 700th career goal in a draw with Atletico Madrid on Tuesday at Camp Nou in Spain’s La Liga.
Messi, who hit the post in the first half with a curling shot, converted a penalty kick with a Panenka-style chip, which resulted in Atletico goalkeeper Jan Oblak diving the wrong way. He has now scored 630 times for Barcelona in 724 appearances across all club competitions and another 70 goals for Argentina in 138 international matches.
