Unsurprisingly, the footballing world decided to weigh in on the performance by the Argentinian maestro.
Gary Lineker commented: 'Messi has just scored his 400th goal for @FCBarcelona in @LaLigaEN.
'It would be an astonishing statistic if he were just a goal scorer, but he’s so much more than that. We’re blessed to live in his time.'
'Another day. Another milestone,' wrote @SahilMirza333.
Even Jordi Alba weighed in. When asked about the fact that in Madrid, they compare Messi with Vinicius Junior, he replied: 'Goodnight!'.
@KMOlsen26 added: 'If you can’t beat him, join Serie A'.
And @aby_mad summed it up best when he tweeted: 'The real GOAT'.
His rival Cristiano Ronaldo managed to hit 311 goals from 292 games while in La Liga, although he has now departed for Juventus.
