Lionel Messi brought up another incredible career landmark by scoring his 400th LaLiga goal against Eibar at Camp Nou on Sunday.

Messi is the first player to reach a quadruple century of goals in the history of Spain s top flight.

Here, we take a look at 10 of his very best in league action for Barcelona.

Albacete (H): May 1, 2005

Even at 17, Messi had the confidence of a veteran. Having already had one goal wrongly ruled out for offside an audacious chip from the edge of the box Messi s confidence was far from knocked and just a minute later he latched onto Ronaldinho s scooped pass before lobbing the ball over Albacete stopper Raul Valbuena from 16 yards. Some way to open your account for one of Europe s great clubs.

GOAL MORNING!!…

Market: Rennes win

Odds: 4/6 @

Looking to extend on their domestic romp this weekend, Rennes will welcome Montpellier to Roazhon Park on Saturday afternoon.

Starting with the hosts, while Rennes might be facing a real uphill battle in their bid to book a European ticket this season, Julien Stephan’s men are riding an extended wave of momentum. Last seen putting in another action-packed display as they claimed a 3-2 victory away at Lyon, the former Strasbourg should find the mood in their camp at a real high. Extending on their Coupe de France adventure on January 21st as they edged their way past Marseille, the Brittany-based outfit have won all of their previous five domestic appearances across all competitions. Signing off 2023 with a 3-1 romp away at Clermo…

Marco Verratti says he will do everything to play for Paris Saint-Germain in Sunday s Champions League final against Bayern Munich, a match he described as the most important 90 minutes in the club s history.

Italy midfielder Verratti was unable to play in the quarter-final triumph over Atalanta due to a calf injury that plagued him prior to travelling to Lisbon.

Verratti managed a short cameo off the bench as PSG outclassed RB Leipzig to reach Sunday s final at the Estadio da Luz.

The 27-year-old is doing what he can to be involved but accepts the final decision lies with head coach Thomas Tuchel.

He said: I m better, I started again slowly with the team. This injury was a bit hard to digest. I have resumed with the group for two to three days and I will…

Stand-in Milan boss Daniele Bonera said he is awaiting news on Zlatan Ibrahimovic s injury sustained in Sunday s 3-1 victory over Napoli.

Ibrahimovic scored twice at Stadio San Paolo to take his tally for the Serie A season to 10 goals in six appearances before limping off 11 minutes from time.

The 39-year-old has been in inspired form for Milan since returning to the club in January, scoring 20 Serie A goals in 24 games – only Lazio s Ciro Immobile (23 in 27) and Juventus superstar Cristiano Ronaldo (29 in 24) have managed more in 2020.

But Ibrahimovic, who missed nearly a month of action after contracting coronavirus earlier in the season, may now be facing another spell on the sidelines after pulling up with an apparent hamstring issue against Napoli.

World Cup winner Ariane Hingst believes the Ballon d Or Feminin must reconsider who merits the global award in order to do justice to the great football players .

Former Germany international Hingst, speaking at the Thinking Football Summit organised by Liga Portugal, could not fathom the reasoning behind including the likes of injury-hit Alexia Putellas as a nominee.

The 30-player list was announced at the start of September, with the winner revealed later in October, as Aitana Bonmati heads to the award ceremony in Paris as the favourite.

Spain s Nations League success saw five of their players nominated, including Bonmati, while the United States women s national team also had as many nominees after their Olympic success in the French capital.

Hingst, …

Luis Suarez was hailed as amazing by Diego Simeone after firing Atletico Madrid seven points clear at the top of LaLiga.

A late penalty was Suarez s second strike of the game and secured a 2-1 win over Eibar on Thursday night, taking the striker s haul to 11 goals in 14 league games.

Such has been the Uruguayan s impact since arriving from Barcelona, it even sparked a post-match question to Simeone as to whether he might be the coach s best signing.

In a little over nine years in charge of Atletico, Simeone has brought a host of notable players to the club, with Jan Oblak and Antoine Griezmann among them.

Simeone recognises Suarez s impact, but he was reluctant to compare the signings he has made during his reign.

I don t stop in mid-season to t…

Jose Mourinho wants Harry Kane to play every minute of every game but says the Tottenham talisman was handed a rest on Thursday to manage his current fitness concerns.

Kane suffered an ankle problem in Spurs defeat to Liverpool on January 28, and seemed set to miss several weeks, only to be brought back into the fold ahead of schedule to face West Brom on February 7.

It was a move which paid off, Kane scoring in a 2-0 win – Spurs only league victory from their last five top-flight matches.

After coming on in the FA Cup defeat to Everton and playing against Manchester City last week, Kane did not travel to Budapest for the first leg of Spurs Europa League round of 32 tie with Austrian side Wolfsberger on Thursday.

Tottenham did the job without their star…

Barcelona head coach Ronald Koeman is open to signing a new centre-back in January to compensate for the loss of Gerard Pique to a potential long-term injury.

Pique hobbled off during the second half of Barca s 1-0 LaLiga loss to Atletico Madrid on Saturday with knee ligament damage.

There are fears that the injury may keep the Spain international sidelined for the next six months, effectively ruling him out for the rest of the campaign.

Knee surgeon specialist Dr. Ramon Cugat, who recently operated on Ansu Fati, has revealed he will meet with Pique on Wednesday and a decision will be made on whether he should go under the knife.

It is a lot to discuss how long he will be out because every knee is different, Cugat told Mundo Deportivo. We must be pruden…

Roberto De Zerbi revealed Lewis Dunk has played through the pain barrier to aid Brighton’s European quest as he backed his captain for an England recall.

Seagulls centre-back Dunk has been ever-present in the Premier League this campaign but could begin on the bench against champions Manchester City on Wednesday evening due to ongoing calf and back issues.

Albion boss De Zerbi admits the 31-year-old took time to adapt to his high-intensity, possession-based style of play after he replaced Graham Potter in September.

Yet the Italian says influential leader Dunk has since cemented his status as a guaranteed starter and “deserves” another shot at international football.

“At first it was not so easy for him to understand my idea but he gave me total a…

Chelsea are continuing their efforts to bolster their left-back position after Ben Chilwell picked up an ACL injury which has ruled him out for the season. They reportedly spoke to Olympique Lyon regarding a possibility of bringing Emerson Palmieri back from his loan there, but the Ligue 1 side have rejected their proposal. They ve also tried to recall 19-year-old Ian Maatsen from his loan at Coventry, but that attempt was unsuccessful as well.

According to , Chelsea have now turned their attention to the idea of signing Layvin Kurzawa on loan from Paris Saint-Germain for the rest of the season.

The 29-year-old joined PSG from AS Monaco in 2015, and he his contract at the Parc des Princes runs until the summer of 2024. However, he is obviously surplus to requirements th…
