The individual bottles are numbered, each one representing a specific goal he scored over his 16-plus years with Barca. Many of those keepers will be receiving more than one bottle, and a few of them a lot more; the 33-year old Argentinean 644 goals came against just 160 different men. Diego Alves conceded 21 goals to Messi over his decade with Almería and Valencia in in La Liga, Spain’s top league. Other keepers, including Atletico Madrid’s Jan Oblak and Juventus legend Gianluigi Buffon, posed for pictures with the bottles they received — numbers 488 and 514, respectively. Stopping him is even harder, though, as those 644 bottles prove.
