THE ONLY THING MESSI HASN’T SUCCEEDED AT IN 2018

Barcelona's main man has finished his year with a goal against Celta Vigo at the Camp Nou, bringing his total in 2018 to 51 goals.

However, there is little thing missing when it comes to his goals: a header. This is right, Leo Messi scored zero headers in 2018 calendar year. Last time the similar has happened was 11 years ago in 2007!

Well, at least Pele would have something to brag about with his recent argument about Messi scoring only with one foot seemingly validated. 

Earlier in December, the Brazlian football legend made a very controversial statement, labelling Messi a 'one skill' player:

“How can you make a comparison between a guy who heads the ball well, shoots with the left, shoots with the right and another who only shoots with one leg, only has one skill and doesn’t head the ball well?” Pele told Brazilian daily newspaper, Folha de Sao Paulo, as cited by the Mirror.

Nevertheless, Messi has no intentions of slowing down when it comes to scoring goals. The Argentinian forward has already netted 15 this season in La Liga and looks set to continue his journey to another Pichichi award.

Messi has won the prize last season subsequently claiming the Golden Shoe for the record-breaking fifth time. Leo has scored 34 goals in La Liga last season getting ahead of Mohamed Salah (32) and Harry Kane (30).
