Afriupdate.com recall top 4 no-name opponents of the Barcelona icon.
Benidorm CF
Leo faced Benidorm in the fifth round of the Copa del Rey in the 2008/09 season. The Argentine scored the only goal in that 1-0 win from a penalty rebound. In fact, the Valencian outfit no longer exists as it was dissolved in 2011.
UDA Gramenet
This local Catalan side made the headlines all over the world in 2004 when they eliminated the Blaugrana from the Copa del Rey in the second round. Messi, who just broke into the first team back then, failed to make a single goal contribution before being replaced by Samuel Eto’o in the 73rd minute of that clash.
Leonesa Leonesa
It took Messi just three minutes to score in Barca‘s 5-0 win over Leonesa in the fifth round of the Copa del Rey in November 2009. He came off the bench in the 61st minute and found the back of the net in the 64th. The Catalans faced the Segunda B outfit in the domestic cup again in the 2018/19 season but Leo was rested in both legs of that encounter two years ago.
AD Ceuta
The current Segunda B club was destroyed by the Blaugrana in the fourth round of the Copa del Rey in 2010 with Messi scoring Barca’s fifth goal.
Ferencvaros
One can’t really add the 31-time Hungarian champions with a 121-year history behind them to the list of no names but Barca fans were hardly aware of Ferencvaros‘ existence before this season’s Champions League draw.
