Lionel Messi continues to break records and no one can escape his grasp.
The number 10 has endorsed all the records of Barcelona and LaLiga Santander, and flies the flag of his club and the league in which he plays. Nobody wants him to leave this summer, neither at the Camp Nou, nor in LaLiga.
Against Real Sociedad, Messi finally surpassed Xavi Hernández’s record for appearances with his 768 with the club. In addition, he has won more titles with Barcelona than anyone with 34. As if that were not enough, he is by far the most outstanding footballer who has ever set foot in LaLiga Santander, and he is not even close.
Messi has more goals (466) than anyone in Spain’s top flight, he has more wins (379) than anyone else and more goals (131) than anyone. Nobody has more than his 36 hat-tricks, nobody has scored against more than his 38 opponents, and not a single soul has more than his 50 goals in a season, with that milestone in 2011/12. His 206 assists are better, unsurprisingly, no one.
He has scored in 295 games, again more than anyone else, and by scoring in 19 consecutive games, he has chained more goalscoring games in a row than anyone else.
Pichichi
Now, at 33, Messi is still in top form. He put on another show when Barcelona beat Real Sociedad, and is leading the race to be crowned Pichichi this season with 23 goals, with former teammate and close friend Luis Suárez behind.
Messi has finished a LaLiga Santander season as top scorer on seven previous occasions, including each of the last four. Nobody has won more Pichichis.
Joan Laporta is clear about what Leo Messi means for Barcelona as a footballer, but he is also aware of its importance on an emotional and brand level. Nobody wants to see him leave Catalonia this summer.
The new president wants to offer him a lucrative new contract, but he knows the club cannot compete with the clubs hoping to drive Messi away from the Camp Nou.
