The two minutes eluding Messi's goalscoring prowess

According to 'Goal', the Argentine forward has found the back of the net more than 600 times during the 3rd to the 90th minute. In fact, he has celebrated at almost every stage of a match, except during the first two.

This record includes games with both Barcelona and his national team, Argentina. If it just included club matches, there would be two other minutes which have also escaped the magician.

For the Catalan giants, he has never scored during the 6th or 32nd minute and although it is a trivial record, one can be sure that Messi will aim to break it before he retires from football.

Interestingly, his rival, Cristiano Ronaldo, has already managed to score in every minute of a game and that will no doubt add further motivation to the 30-year-old.
