If you happen to live on this side of the world, chances are high that you woke up to a thousand tweets about one goal – Messi’s 600th for Barcelona. It doesn’t even matter if you are an ardent football fan. This one was simply unmissable.

Now, while it is going to take us some time to get over this, I thought it would be a good idea to dig a little deeper into the depths of the internet and find some other gems that prove Messi is probably an alien disguised as a human.
1. Let’s start from the start : This was Messi’s first official goal for Barcelona which was technically on the same date as his 600th. With this, life has come full circle for him and for all of us.
The first of 600 ⚽
