Lionel Messi accomplishes new records almost every time he steps on the pitch for Barcelona.

From goalscoring to assist-making, the five-time FIFA Ballon D’or winner has made record-breaking a habit, often surpassing his own records.

And while there were reports of him not getting along well with Barca’s coach Luis Enrique earlier this season, according to this stat (below), time has brought Messi to a point where he is just three games away from his 100th league appearance under Enrique.

If Messi features in the next three league games for Barca, against Malaga, Real Sociedad and then the Clasico against Real Madrid, he will achieve the milestone.

And well, you can almost be sure of him not missing out considering the importance of the next few games for Barca.
