18 years since Messi's first Barca goal

On 1st May, but in 2005, Leo Messi scored his first official goal for Barcelona. It was against Albacete, with a great assist from another legend, Ronaldinho.

It is a special day at the Camp Nou. Seeing the player who in the end has been the best player in the history score for the first time for the club is something within the reach of the thousands of spectators who were there that afternoon.

Few expected the Rosarino, who came on in the 87th minute to replace Samuel Eto'o, to come on. In barely a minute, Messi had time to score his first goal for the club.

The Argentinian's genius beat Raul Valbuena with a brilliant lob, who could only witness first-hand the beginning of a legend.

That was the first of 672 goals he scored for Barcelona, until he decided in the summer of 2021 not to renew his contract and move to PSG.
