On this day in 2010, Lionel Messi scored his 100th goal for Barcelona and became the youngest player in the club’s history to reach that milestone.
Barcelona met Sevilla in a league encounter, having already played them twice and losing out in the Round of 16 of the Copa del Rey in the previous month. The scores remained 0-0 in the first half before Barca took the lead through an own goal by Julien Escude. Pedro struck in the 70th minute to double his side’s lead.
Then came Messi’s turn as he put the ball in the back of the net from just outside the six-yard box to score his 100th goal for the club.
