Messi makes breaking records look so easy, doesn't he? Every few games there's some record waiting to be broken by him. Many standing for decades. And remember he's merely 25! What he can possible achieve and overcome is terrifying. Last year Barca missed out on the two most coveted trophies, the league and European cups. Other than that, Messi had a stellar year! 72 goals in all competitions is the the cherry on top of the various achievements that included beating César Rodríguez to become the top scorer in the 113-year history of FC Barcelona.

So what record(S) did he break last game? Read more to find out!



* Messi was already the highest scorer of the Super Cup with 8 goals. He became top scorer last year. This year he already has added 1 goal to that tally and we still have the second leg remaining!

* Messi has scored 13 goals against Real Madrid in 17 matches. The penalty goal in the last game equals César's record as Barça’s highest ever scorer against Real Madrid.

* Barca, if they manage a victory over Madrid over the second leg, will have won the trophy 11 times, again a record.

* In all official Clasicos played till now, with the last game's victory, Barca and Real are level with 87 victories each. Win the next game and history will change!

*Messi has 4 more goals left against Madrid to become the all time top scorer in clasicos. At present Madrid legend Di Stefano holds the prestigious record.

*Messi have now scored in 4 consecutive Super Cup matches and Barca have won the trophy 4 consecutive times. Both, according to FC Barcelona, are records!
