Fallen European giants Inter Milan and Spanish minnows Gramenet are among the teams Lionel Messi has failed to score against during his illustrious career.

Messi scored in Barcelona's 3-1 Champions League win over Napoli on Saturday.

He netted a spectacular solo goal as he helped his side progress to the the next round of the competition.

The 33-year-old has scored all types of goals for Barcelona and Argentina, but nine teams have the honour of having faced the six-time Ballon d'Or winner without him scoring against them.

Messi has scored 634 goals for his club in matches against 78 teams, scoring against 69 of them.

The biggest team he hasn't scored against is Inter Milan who have kept Messi goalless in four matches.
