Messi didn't yet turn 25 Can he break these records?

Man you must have done a lot of research, yes he can why not as far as he doesn't bother about these and plays for the team.

 

[Flavia]

He can beat them, and I hope he does.

 

[Myrmecophile]

Really can't see him scoring 500 goals tbh, but the others should be beatable.

 

[Yugi]

he needs 3 x 30 goals Liga season
2x 10 goals CL seasons

holy moly that´s insanity

 

[KhaledBarca]

Really can't see him scoring 500 goals tbh, but the others should be beatable.

True, 500+ needs a lot of consistency and he should satay fit/away from injuries...
he need almost 250 more goals.. let's say he'll play 6 more years at high level.. he needs an average of 40+ goals per season!!
but other records like Liga and UCL all-time topscorer, he has a gd chance to beat it.. if he stayed fit in the next 2-3 years...

 

[Aryagorn]

I pray God to give Messi the strength to smash all those records

¤ Messi's record at Barca in 2012 (Calendar Year): 43 goals and 14 assists in 32 games (30 Starts). #fcblive #messi (Personal Record: 58 goals in 2010).

 

[KhaledBarca]

¤ #Messi is the 10th player in European history to win the European Golden Shoe (twice). #fcblive No one won it 3 times.

1 - Eusébio (1967–68, 1972–73)
Gerd Müller (1969–70, 1971–72)
Dudu Georgescu (1974–75, 1976–77)
Fernando Gomes (1982–83, 1984–85)
Ally McCoist (1991–92, 1992–93)
Mário Jardel (1998–99, 2001–02)
Thierry Henry (2003–04, 2004–05)
Diego Forlán (2004–05, 2008–09)
Cristiano Ronaldo (2007–08, 2010–11)
Leo Messi (2009-10, 2011-12)

- Messi won the European Golden Shoe with 50 goals (100pts) this season (2011-12) an all time record for Points in a single season.

 

[Deco 20]

Eusebio's and Müller's records are insane.

Müller, Eusebio, Sanchez, Puskas, that's some of the best strikers of all time. Müller is possibly the best goal scorer there is. Messi is another type of player, it'll be very difficult.

 

[KhaledBarca]

True its very very difficult to reach Muller's or Eusebio's record.. but you never know its Messi

He needs to score 248+ goals for Barcelona to reach 500+ goals... He's almost 25, it depend on 3 things:
- How many years will Messi play for Barca?
- If he stay fit and away from injuries...
- If he stay motivated...

Note: Gerd Muller's record for Bayern 573 goals in 616 official games (via rsssf).

Let's say 8 more years?
So he needs an average of 31+ goals a season for the next 8 years to reach 500+ goals for Barcelona.
2012-13 (25 years old): 60+
2013-2014 (26 years old): 55+
2014-2015 (27 years old): 50+
2015-2016 (28 years old): 45+
2016-2017 (29 years old): 40+
2017-2018 (30 years old): 30+
2018-2019 (31 years old): 25+
2019-2020 (32 years old): 20+

at this rate for example: in 8 years +325 goals ===> Total of 577+ goals for Barcelona at 32 years old
