In a bid to celebrate Lionel Messi's record-breaking 644th goal for Barcelona, Budweiser is sending out a personalised bottle to every one of the 160 goalkeepers he's scored against. 

Celebrating this commendable feat, elated Messi took to his Facebook page to thank everyone, most especially his teammates, family and friends for all the support he has gotten from them to achieve this feat.

In his words, "when i started playing football, I never thought I would break any record, let alone the one I achieved today that had Pele. I can only thank everyone who has helped me through these years, my teammates, my family, my friends and everyone who supports me everyday. Hug!"

The Argentine professional footballer plays as a forward and captain to both the Spanish Club Barcelona and the Argentina national team.
