#2 Become the second player ever to score 50 knockout stage goals in the Champions League
Lionel Messi's tally of 114 Champions League goals is only bettered by Cristiano Ronaldo (128). Messi's 46 knockout stage goals in the competition is also only dwarfed by Ronaldo's tally of 65.

4 more goals in the 2019-20 Champions League would see Messi join Ronaldo as the only players to score 50 or more goals in the knockout stage of the competition.
Messi already holds the record for most group-stage goals in the Champions League (68), which as a standalone number is good enough for 4th place in the list of all-time scorers in the competition.
#3 Score a record-extending 450th Liga goal
With 432 goals to his name, Messi is the all-time top-scorer in the history of Spain's Primera Liga - and is over 120 goals clear of the next highest tally in the list (Cristiano Ronaldo - 311 goals).
Messi has racked up 13 goals in as many games during the 2019-20 season, and 34 goals in 32 games during the year. Thus, its only a matter of when and not if, for Messi to score his 450th goal in the Liga.
Considering the pace at which he has scored Liga goals during the season, it is not inconceivable to imagine that the Argentine maestro could arrive at the landmark before the 2019-20 season ends.
