Lionel Messi wins record-breaking Pichichi award

Lionel Messi records that he broke while in La Liga are still following him despite leaving the Spanish giant, Barcelona to Paris Saint German.

The Argentine has won the 2020/21 season Pichichi award, rewarded by Marca.

This marks the 8th time the Argentine football maestro will be winning the trophy, an all-time record – even though he was holding the record himself already.

In 2020/21, Leo has scored 30 goals in 35 games, assisting 11 more.

Messi reflected on Telmo Zarra’s record, who has scored a total of 251 League goals. With 457 goals in the Spanish league, it is a number that the Barcelona icon has broken quite a long time ago.

“At first, it was crazy to break Telmo Zarra’s goal tally, in the end, I succeeded, I’m very happy,” said the 34-year-old.

This is coming after he won his seventh Ballon D’or award early this week after beating Lawandoski, Kante and Jorginho
