In their last Bundesliga game Dortmund,in a most unlikely and unexpected fashion,first went behind by 3 goals to Paderborn,the team at the bottom of the league.Then they orchestrated a most unlikely and unexpected stirring comeback to end the game at 3 goals each.
No such luck against Barcelona.
They went down 3-1 to Barcelona,and in the course of the game Messi,in front of an adoring home crowd at the Camp Nou, made it 700 appearances, 613 goals and 237 assists.
He became thus only the second Barcelona player to reach the landmark after Xavi Hernández, who made 767 appearances.
Plus no one in the history of the club has won more than Messi, who has 34 trophies to his name.
Highlights of all those legendary goings on..
