Will Messi become Barças all time top scorer tomorrow?

Leo Messi could draw level or break César Rodríguez’s all-time high goal record which stands at 232 goals. FC Barcelona’s Center of Documentation and Studies started an investigation, in collaboration with La Vanguardia, to verify the exact number of official goals scored by the Barça legend during his time at the Club in the early 1950s.

After studying all of César’s matches, it has been confirmed that Messi is only one goal behind the legendary “Pelucas.” The Argentine has 231 goals in official matches, therefore if the player scores against Granada he will equal César.

The study analysed and compared all of the match reports from César’s Barça career with La Vanguardia’s, a news paper founded in 1881, historical database. The conclusion drawn from the study, not confirmed until today, is that César scored 232 official goals for Barça and not 235.

Tomorrow Barça plays Granada at the Camp Nou, which gives Messi as good a chance as any to put himself at the top of that list.

yes he will imo

Then Mallorca is the fixture afterwards so he has two glorious opportunities to bag a couple goals. I'm dying to see how he will celebrate them lol, probably in the same fashion, point to his assister and group hug with the team then fingers to the sky lol.

YES!

Mallorca @ Camp Nou? I expect a hat trick...

He'll do it. He only needs 2 goals need to be top on his own. Would anybody be surprised to see him grap a brace?

I think he will

Just scored. Great goal to equalize.

He is now the joint top scorer, id put money on him to score another too.

assist + goal in 20 minutes, more to come

There you have it people, Messi has the most goals scored in official matches for barca

Who's this Messi fella?

Well now he has became, congrats to him.

Finished the night with another hattrick, 4 hattricks in 7 games, dat GOAT.

the amazing thing is that at a night when he scored wonderful goals..and assisted one..his best action came in a play that didnt result in goal..i am talking about the pass to tello...definitely the best player in my lifetime..i am not lucky enough to see maradona or older goats in their prime

there are no words to describe him.

Messi is playing at a level that is just unfair right now.

There is literally nothing you can do to stop him now when he plays centrally especially because his passing and vision are on a world class level now too.

Single cover him and your dead, double or triple team him and he will cut your team apart with his passing.

I know everyone feels the need to compare him to other players but please just sit back and enjoy watching him, you may never see anything like this again.

If you want to hate Barca I get it, but I just don't understand how people can hate this guy. What a player.

genius and he is just 24.....
