Brazilian “Santos” issued an official statement, refuting the new record of Argentine striker “Barcelona” Messi. This was reported on the club's website.
Santos' statement emphasizes that the Brazilian's goal statistics should take into account not only the goals scored in official matches. Taking into account the goals in friendly matches, Pele's record is 1,091 goals scored for one team. Thus, according to the authors, Messi never beat the achievement of the legendary Brazilian footballer. It is noted that Pele hit the gates of the leading clubs in South and Central America in friendly matches.
