4 Lionel Messi records that would be difficult to break

#2 Scoring the most goals in La Liga history

Messi - La Liga record scorer

Another Messi record certainly difficult to beat is his record as La Liga's all time top goal scorer. With 374 goals to his name at the time of writing (and counting), Messi is the clear leader on the all time list with the only real challenger to this record being none other than Ronaldo. Although CR7 has scored a staggering 307 goals in just 288 games, unless Messi retires this season or moves to another club (the former being impossible the latter being improbable) it is hard to see Ronaldo ever catching this record or any player for that matter.

Staying at one club or in one league for over a decade is becoming somewhat of a rarity for football players nowadays, with Ronaldo being the appropriate case in point.

This aspect of the modern game married with Messi's retirement from football being a long time away means his already staggering figure of 374 goals is going to keep going up making the task of overtaking it even more arduous and as Ronaldo's chance of breaking the record is most likely dependent on the future career choices of Messi, it appears that this record is safe for the near and distant future.

This record showcases the outstanding consistency that Messi has maintained throughout his entire career in La Liga, with the Argentine demonstrating that he is a goal scorer of the highest order and it is because of this and all the other reasons discussed why it is appropriate to include this record on the list.
