Leo Messi surpassed against the Valladolid a record of Peeled, one of the best players of the history of the football. The '10' of the FC Barcelona converted with his so much in Pucela in the footballer with more marked goals with a same team of the history. The culé adds 644 so many by the 643 that annotated the legendary ex Brazilian forward with the Saints along his career.

But the group paulista has not given legitimacy to the record of the rosarino and has left it very clear with his communiqué. The team of Peeled ensures that they would have to explain the more than 400 goals that the ex attacker marked in competitions and friendly meetings during his path in Santos. In total, would be 448 targets more, by what would add 1091 so many, a figure that Messi never could surpass.

"The 448 marked goals in parties and friendly competitions were condemned to the ostracism, as if had less value. Only they could play parties with the approval of the regional and national federations, one of the rules imposed by the FIFA", wrote the Brazilians in his communiqué, defending that these goals would have to have validity for something of these characteristics.

The Saints continued his defence to the record of Peeled and left clear that several important clubs received goals of 'Or'Rei' in friendly commitments, by what are not without importance duels like many that contest nowadays. "They marked in front of the main teams of the season. America and Colo Colo suffered nine goals, Inter of Milan, eight, the own Barcelona was victim of four goals..", they wrote.

To finish, wanted to insist in that any target would have to explain, since, under his point of view, is not less mark him a goal to the America in a friendly tournament that a target to the Eibar in League. "Take into account subjective attributes is not ideal to compile statistical data. A goal against the Eibar is the same that one against Valencia and a goal against the Transvaal has the same statistical value that one to the Real Madrid", aimed.

I peeled it contradicted to his club and legitimated the record

These complaints are surprising taking into account that the same Peeled defended the record of Messi and congratulated to the Argentinian shortly after that it surpassed him. "Congratulations by your historical record, Lionel. But especially, congratulations by your beautiful path in the FC Barcelona. Histories as ours, to love to the same club during so much time, lamentably will be increasingly rare in the football. I admire you a lot", it said the ex tip.
