Messi has often been compared to prolific Real Madrid goal scorer Christiano Ronaldo, but both have been keen to downplay the rivalry.
"Messi has his personality and I have mine. He has his game and I have mine. I also play in a big club like him. We are different in every aspect. But right now, he is the best."
-Christiano Ronaldo, in September 2011
By any standards, Messi's goal scoring record is exceptional. By February 2013, he has scored 301 goals in 365 official matches for Barcelona FC.
In 2012/13, Messi set an all time world record of scoring in 21 consecutive games (33 goals from 21 games)
He holds the Guinness World Record for most goals in a calender year - 86 goals during 2012.
He is the only player to score in four consecutive Champions League campaigns.
As of February 2014, Messi has scored 343 club goals out of 434 appearances (including Barcelona B team)
His international record for Argentina is 37 goals from 83 appearances.
