5 records Lionel Messi can break or equal this season

#1 First player to score 400 goals in LaLiga

Barcelona v Girona - LaLiga

Lionel Messi has now scored 392 goals in LaLiga from 428 games and is the LaLiga top scorer by a mile. His nearest opponent is Cristiano Ronaldo, who left for Juventus at the start of the season, having scored 311 goals. His nearest active competitor is veteran Aritz Aduriz, who currently plays for Athletic Bilbao and has scored 155 goals from 415 games. The next active player on the list is Real Madrid's Karim Benzema, who has scored 132 goals from 288 appearances.

Since the 2008/09 season, the Barcelona skipper has scored more than 20 league goals every season without fail. It is safe to assume that Messi shall surely repeat the feat this year and that in itself shall bring him closer to another record.

This season, Messi has already scored 9 goals from 10 games in LaLiga, having missed 2 games already with a Forearm Fracture. The Argentinean needs only 8 more goals till the end of the season to reach 400 career goals in LaLiga and become the first player to reach the magical figure in the history of the League. This is also another record that Messi will most certainly achieve this season, further ascertaining his position as perhaps the greatest player ever to grace LaLiga.
