Join us on this epic journey and leave at least 644 comments to show how much we really want the GOAT to break Pele's record while at Barca!
Frankly, it looks like almost every footballing record will belong to Leo Messi by the time he retires. And when you put it like that, you understand how lucky we all are to witness him play week in and week out.

Although the Argentine has said several times in the past that he doesn't care about personal achievements, the amount of goals he has scored over the past 15 seasons with Blaugrana is staggering.

Currently, the 33-year-old has 635 goals scored for Barcelona, which is actually the second-best record of all time. Only Pele with 643 goals for Santos has more, meaning Leo has to score 9 more goals to beat the Brazilian legend to yet another impressive achievement.

You should keep in mind that this includes only goals in official games. A big chunk of Pele's career goals came in friendlies.

Leo Messi is getting closer than ever to Pele's all-time record as he scored another goal in the La Liga opener against Villarreal.

The Argentine will have the chance to add more goals to his tally in the La Liga match against Celta on Thursday, October 1.
