There are no doubts that Barcelona captain Lionel Messi is one of the best forwards in the world and football’s greatest talent. Today let’s have a look at the six football teams that have conceded the most goals from the Argentine.
#6 Club Atlético Osasuna(23 goals)
Lionel Messi has scored 23 goals when playing against Club Atlético Osasuna which is a club in La Liga 2 right now. When Club Atlético Osasuna, the La Liga’s bottom club in 2017, traveled to Camp Nou to face Barcelona, Osasuna players even said that they needed to carry handcuffs and a pistol to stop Lionel Messi due to the Barcelona boss’s excellent performance in the match against Osasuna.
#5 Athletic de Bilbao(24 goals)
Messi has netted 24 times in 34 games against Athletic, including scoring one of his best ever goals in the Copa Del Rey final against Athletic in 2015. Also, in that season, Barcelona had excellent performances and completed a treble.
#4 Valencia CF(25 goals)
Messi has scored 25 goals in 31 games against Valencia, including three hat-tricks. The most important one among these three hat-tricks that Messi scored against Valencia is in the Copa Del Rey semi-final in 2016 when Barcelona won 7-0 and cost Gary Neville his job.
#3 Real Madrid(26 goals)
Messi has scored 25 times against Real Madrid, the Barcelona’s biggest rival. He scored his first senior hat-trick against Real Madrid in 2007 and hasn’t stopped scoring since. Messi memorably scored a last-minute winner in El Clasico in 2017 to secure a 3-2 win for Barcelona at the Bernabeu. However, Cristiano Ronaldo, maybe the Messi’s biggest rival, has just netted 18 times when he plays against Barcelona.
#2 Atletico Madrid(28 goals)
Barcelona captain scored his 600th career goal against Atletico Madrid in March, 2018 with an incredible free-kick. It should have come as no surprise to anyone as Messi has bagged 28 times against Atletico Madrid.
#1 Sevilla(32 goals)
The Argentine striker has goals in his blood, never more so than when he plays against Sevilla. He has scored 32 goals in total in all competitions against Sevilla, more than any other team in LaLiga, which include a hat-trick in 2014 as Barcelona beat them 5-1.
