An event… and regrets. FC Barcelona experienced a contrasting evening on Tuesday during the shock of the 33rd day of Liga against Atlético Madrid. Lionel Messi scored his 700th career goal, converting a delicious panenka penalty. But the Catalans, who led twice, were joined on two penalties by Saul Niguez (2-2) and almost said goodbye to the title for this season.

Barça is indeed one point behind Real Madrid, which receives Getafe Thursday evening. Madrid residents can take a break, and have a very advantageous schedule during the last days. The players of Zidane now have all the cards in hand to go for a 34th champion title.
Leo among legends
This 700th goal - 630 with Barça and 70 with Argentina - will therefore not console Leo Messi, even if he crosses there caps rarely reached in the history of football, and joined legends like the Brazilian goal scorers Pelé and Romario , or the Hungarian Ferenc Puskas.
This season, the Argentinian dominates the top scorers in the Spanish league for the 4th consecutive year, with 22 goals in 28 games, against 17 in 31 games for his first pursuer, Karim Benzema.
