Here is another future record that could be taken by Messi, although this time around he will have some competition form teammates Busi and Geri.

Most wins in el Classico

21 Francisco Gento
19 Lionel Messi
19 Sergio Busquets
18 Gerard Piqué
17 Xavi Hernandez
17 Alfredo Di Stefano

And another future record

Most wins against Real Madrid by any footballer

22 Dani Alves (Sevilla 8 and FC Barcelona 14)

 

[Blaugrana Bull]

I really hope Messi will equal Gento's 12 league titles in the end. 6 CLs would be amazing too of course.
Both are possible but will be really hard to earn.

Hmmm, if my counting right this year he can win Liga number 10? 12 doesn't seem far from him tbh

 

[Blaugrana Bull]

Yes will be his tenth. But I am not sure if we can win the two afterwards although I see us as favorites.
Two more CL titles are even harder and to have any chance to achieve that this year's title is a must.

 

[Hardy]

he needs 2 (assuming we win this year) to equal Gento's record but it will be even more glorious if he wins 3 other liga because the record for most domestic league titles in Europe (and likely in the world) is 13 by Ryan Giggs, that would be an hell of achievement.

[Hardy]

holy shit strand well at least record for top 5 european league still possible

 

[Leo_Messi]

He can equal or even surpass Gento's two records provided that he does "a Giggs" and stays at the club until 2027. Which quite frankly is very unrealistic although I would love it. If he did he would probably equal or beat all possible records quite clearly. Be it number of appearance (300 extra games in 8 seasons would be possible) thus beating Giggs, number of league titles and likely number of CL. Let alone goals scored.

Anyway the numbers and legacy of our most important player in the club's history increasing is always a good thing but the well-being and success of the club should always be above it. If Messi becomes a hindrance to the team by the time he will turn 35 (in 3 seasons time in other words) he should do what other legends did before him such as Pep, Puyol, Xavi, Iniesta etc. and call it a day.

Here is a list if you like:

Robben's stats are impressive. Won leagues in Spain, England, Germany and the Netherlands. Should try to go to PSG or Juve to win the Ligue 1 or a scudetto.

 

[khaled_a_d]

MD once mentioned that Messi has an exit clause like Iniesta that kicks in 2020, not sure how accurate that report especially considering that it was never mentioned again.
But if true, I think Messi isn't planning to overstay here tbh. I think he will likely go and join Cr7 in China and collect a massive pay check there
