With these two goals, Lionel Messi reached the impressive mark of 22 consecutive seasons scoring at least once against opposing teams.
Messi’s “biggest rival” in this regard is Cristiano Ronaldo, who has also scored at least one goal in every season since 2002.
Since that day, May 1st, 2005, when he scored his first official goal for Barcelona’s professional team, finishing off an assist from Ronaldinho Gaúcho, the Argentine hasn’t stopped finding the back of the net.
For the Spanish giant, between 2004 and 2021, Messi scored 672 goals in 778 matches.
Afterwards, at PSG, the numbers were much more modest: 32 goals in 75 matches.
