The FC Barcelona surpassed to the Leganés this past Tuesday by 2-0 with so many of Ansu Fati and Leo Messi. The Barcelona were not fine and did not show his best image, but did the sufficient as to do with the three points against the pepineros. The Hispanic-guinean advanced to the culés in the first time and the Argentinian marked from the 11 metres the second to sentence the crash and the victory.

The maximum penalty that did him to the rosarino, by the way, has brought tail. The Leganés complained a lot of the action during and after the meeting because they considered that the contact was insufficient, but was as it was, the '10' did not fail to add his 21er goal this campaign in League. This target was, besides, the number 440 in First since it debuted with the first team 16 years ago. But going in even more in detail, went the penalti number 56 that transformed in the Spanish championship.

With this launching, the international albiceleste equalised to Hugo Sánchez like the second player with more goals from the 11 metres of the history of LaLiga. The Mexican also put 56 in the 12 years that was in Spain, with four in the Athletic of Madrid, one in the Ray Vallecano and the seven that happened in the Real Madrid. But Leo did more than this, since with this goal remained to so alone five penaltis to equalise to another ex legend madridista in penaltis.

Cristiano Ronaldo marked before going in 2018 to the Juventus of Turín 61 maximum penalties of 72 that threw. The Barcelona has annotated 56 of 68, a lower percentage, but that still like this goes him to cost with almost total security to lead this classification in the future. Leo has to shot to CR7 and the normal would be that it surpassed him the next season like afternoon. If the Barcelona has luck, perhaps even can reach to the Portuguese in the 9 days that subtract of course.

It is curious that Messi go to arrive to the goals of penalti of the of Madeira, since in his years in the Spanish capital turned into the king of the penaltis. In fact, in tone of mofa, the fans of the Barça called him 'Penaldo' by the quantity of infringements inside the area that him pitaban and that later marked. But his course to the Juve did that his record stopped in 71 and the '10' culé is already very near to arrive to this figure.

A record more for Leo Messi

This will be only one more in the larguísima smart of awards and records that Messi has achieved along his career. The Argentinian carries six Balloons of Gold, is the maximum goleador of the history of LaLiga, sum already six 'Pichichis', other so many Boots of Gold and a sinfín of attainments more. Surpass to Christian simply will be another thing more in which the 'crack' rosarino also will be the best.
