Barcelona on Thursday confirmed that Argentine star Lionel Messi will be leaving the club following a breakdown in contract talks, ending a 20-year stay which saw him shattering many records and winning several laurels.

Messi had been in long-drawn contract talks with the La Liga team with reports earlier suggesting he had sealed a five-year deal with them.

Although the player rarely made comments about the situation, Barcelona’s recent announcement is set to send world football into a frenzy as a host of clubs begin a battle to lure Messi – regarded as one of the greatest players of all times – to their side.

Messi’s Major Records

Here are eleven records held by the Barcelona legend:

1. Record Ballons d’Or wins (6 to date)

2. Top goalscorer in Spanish League history (474 to date)

3. Most goals scored for one Spanish League club (474 for Barcelona)

4. Top overall goalscorer in Barcelona’s history (672)

5. Top scorer in history for one club (672 for Barcelona)

6. Top scorer in Spanish ‘clasicos’ between Barcelona and Real Madrid (26)

7. Most appearances for Barcelona (778)

8. Most goals scored in a top class league season (50 in 2011-2012)

9. Top scorer in Argentina’s history 76 (2006 to date)

10. Record goals scored in a calendar year (91 in 2012)

11. Record goals scored for a club in a season in all competitions (73 in 2011-2012)

(NB: The last two records have not been officialised by FIFA)

too bad to see Leo leave n we ar still hoping for a miracle if it DA change LA liga rules so messi can stay.

These re buh a few of his goal scoring records. We arn't even talking abt his trophies, assists, freekicks, personal achievement like man of the match(mtm) awards etcetera.

80% of attacks starts nd ends wit Leo. Who does that?

Leo is everywhere; from defends to mildfield to the opponents half, not one tap-in merchant that is always hiding nd takin a nap wit the opponents goal keeper. Lol.

A guy wit the most man of the match in the history of the game.

A guy wit the most freekicks in the history of the game.

A guy wit the most assist in the history of the game.

A guy wit the most player of the tournament in the history of the game.

A guy wit the most dribbles in the history of the game.

U jux can't stop ur self from lovin this guy. All hail the GOAT.

Wow

Make I drop link for here:

Hmmm, this records justified his golden ball winning in 2005 while our Mikel and Taiye Taiwo won the silver and the bronze ball respectively... Yet they are no where close to his records.


The real G.O.A.T. My favourite after CR7.

Messi has (over the years) done greatness in his football career, no doubt..

But I still prefer my CR7 over him, no long capping ...

Future generation should take note

This is superb Mehn and this is a player that gets the ball from the midfield, dribble his way into the opponent's half, create chances for his team mates and still has these records? Damn. This is BEASTLY!!! GOATEST!!!

These records cannot be broken in our time.

Ballet

Baller

Messi try cha...Like he won his heaven and earth only in barcelona..

But e for too make sense to me if to say he come EPL....

I just dey pity PSG in advance,for wanting to buy this contraband commodity

I don't believe that man called laporta can just allow Messi to go like
that because of one useless rule made by laliga president.

Guy has paid his dues, time to march on

Allow this man rest..he is not leaving Barça

Everything ends in Barcelona . This man is Barcelona legend not world legend .

What about Fake retirement record?

?A GOAT is a GOAT.

Please come to Chelsea

Man like Messi.....The GOAT

Only in Spain and Barcelona..

Only goat I know did that.. done that in England.. Spain and now Italy..

Say it with me... Wowwwwwwwww

305 assists to date

Messi has tried but Ronaldo still remains the G.O.A.T

Just Messiless as a soccer LION....
