Messi tops the all-time goal scoring chart as well

Argentine and Barcelona sensation, Lionel Messi sits on top of the all-time list for the most number of goals scored in the Spanish top-flight since its establishment in 1929. The 30-year-old forward began his career at Barcelona working his way up through the ranks and made his debut at the tender age of 17 in 2004.

Since then the Argentinian forward has taken the league and world by storm as he has established and cemented his legacy as the greatest goal scorer of all time. Having netted 360 goals in 389 appearances for Barcelona in La Liga, the magician Messi leads the way as the most accomplished goal scorer in Spanish top-flight history.

Messi is also Argentina's all-time leading goal scorer and captain who is focused on securing his first international trophy with his country at next year's WC in Russia. Having come close to winning an international honour on numerous occasions, Messi strives to achieve and add another honour to his illustrious career.

In his 13th season with the Catalonia giants, Messi continues to spearhead Barcelona's charge to another La Liga trophy and secure his lead at the top of the goal scoring chart.
