Lionel Messi and breaking records - inseparable phrases in the football world. Throughout his career at Barcelona, the Argentine has distinguished himself with numerous memorable achievements, and although it is said that this season could be the last for the forward in Catalonia, he could still improve at least five significant records in football history. Most goals for one club So far, Lionel Messi has scored 635 accurate shots in all club championships and he is only 9 goals away from surpassing the legendary striker Pele, who reigned at Santos (643). Most matches for Barcelona Despite the fact that the sharpshooter has been playing in Catalonia for 17 seasons, he ranks second in terms of the number of matches played (734) behind another team legend Xavi (767). However, if the footballer avoids injuries, he has a chance to surpass him. Eighth local Golden Boot Although last season Real Madrid triumphed in La Liga championships, no one in the list of sharpshooters can compare to L. Messi, who won his seventh Pichichi title (25 goals). If the player maintains his speed and wins the eighth Golden Boot, he will surpass the famous German Gerd Muller (7). Most titles for one club Manchester United icon Ryan Giggs could lose the record title if L. Messi manages to win several tournaments. The former has 36 trophies, while the Argentine has 34. Most consecutive seasons for Barcelona The player has become the owner of the record. Recently starting his 17th consecutive season at Barcelona, he has already surpassed record holders Xavi and Carles Rexach.
