Valverde hails history-maker Messi after landmark goal
The Argentine became the first player to score 400 LaLiga goals on Sunday, a feat that earned praise from the Barcelona boss.
Ernesto Valverde paid tribute to Lionel Messi after the Barcelona striker registered his 400th LaLiga goal in Sunday’s 3-0 win over Eibar.
Messi became only the second player to score 400 goals across Europe’s top five leagues with his 53rd-minute strike, the Argentina international making himself some room before finding the bottom corner.
He joins long-time adversary Cristiano Ronaldo in reaching the milestone, although Messi’s have come in one league and for one club.
