Lionel Messi reigns supreme as one of the greatest players to ever grace the beautiful game of football.

The mercurial Argentine has amassed the most career titles—45—of any player to step foot on a football field, alongside a host of other awards.

The Inter Miami forward boasts a record-setting eight Ballon d'Or titles, with the most recent coming in the 2023 edition.

Among his many impressive records, one that stands out is his career goal tally. According to data from FotMob, the Argentine national team captain has scored over 838 career goals since bursting onto the scene in 2004.

A significant number of these goals were scored during his 17-year stint with Barcelona. This highlights that many of Messi’s frequent victims were goalkeepers whose prime years coincided with Messi’s best years in the Spanish league.

In light of this, Legit.ng shines the spotlight on the goalkeepers who have conceded the most goals to Messi throughout their careers.
