Lionel Messi: The Staggering Number of Goalkeepers Argentine Has Scored Against After Brace vs Honduras

• Lionel Messi’s set a unique milestone with his goals against Honduras
• The Argentine has scored against more than 200 different goalkeepers throughout his career
• Honduras goalkeeper Luis Lopez became his latest victim

Despite being aged 35, Lionel Messi continues to defy the odds of the football game as he continues to rack up his numbers.

This was the case once again as his brace was enough to sink Honduras in a friendly on Friday, September 23.

The Argentine’s brace was worthy of a standing ovation from all the fans who came to watch him as he took his international tally to 87 goals

Honduras goalkeeper Luis Lopez also had an odd honor as he became the 219th goalkeeper to concede a goal or two courtesy of Messi.

Messi’s 'victims' in numbers

When one has over 700 career goals, there is a high chance one has come across many different rivals, and Messi is no exception.

Messi has scored against 90 clubs in his career, which is quite impressive if you think about it.

These clubs include teams from Europe’s top five leagues as well as relegated and promoted La Liga sides.

In terms of national teams, Messi has scored against 31 countries.

With the World Cup less than two months away, Argentina will certainly still be looking at Messi for inspiration as they look for their first triumph in the coveted competition since 1986 when they were inspired by the legendary Diego Maradona.
