Will Messi become Barças all time top scorer tomorrow?

I wonder what is really expected from him to be called the true GOAT?

help his team win the league this season?

because he's never done that before...?

they do lol

i am just saying that if he somehow manages to help barca win the league from this point on , and plays a major part in it , it ll surely raise his chances of being the 'goat'

Congrats to Messi. Humongous achievement.

His chipped goal yesterday is a carbon-copy of his very first goal

Incredible, easily the best player I've ever seen.

Its amazing how in a 4-5 years he could easily hit the 500 mark.

I personally doubt he could hit 400 Barca goals too, but he probably can. No further than that. This guy isnt going to be slamming in 50 a year for the rest of his career, you know.

Messi will easily surpass the 400 mark with years left to play. He's 166 goals away and he's 24 years old, he doesn't need 50 a year.

You assume he will play CF for Barca until he retires...

At least until 30-31, right? I don't see why he would be moved before that. That's a good 6 more years for him, 400 does not seem impossible. He only needs an average of 25 goals per season throughout 6 years to achieve 400.

Such a shame his talents will be wasted at Barca forever, well until he goes back to Argie or what not.

Exactly my point, who says that he will be Barca's striker, who the whole team is built upon, until that age? Maybe he will change clubs (I know he has said he wants to stay, but in football stuff changes quickly). Maybe he will no longer be the CF (remember that switch him down to CM once Xavi retires stuff?). Maybe others will come and the whole team will not be built so completely around him as it is now. He can definately achieve 400, but I cant see him getting significantly past that.
