2017 El Clasico Saturday Dec 23,2017 Real Madrid Vs FC Barcelona - Lionel Messi broke five records during Barca’s 3-0 Clasico win

Lionel Messi, it seems, also took the opportunity to break not one, but five records during the game.

First of all, he grabbed a few records specific to El Clasico, becoming the leading scorer in the fixture, the leading scorer against Real Madrid in La Liga, and the top scorer in Clasico history at the Bernabeu, too.

However, perhaps more impressive is this: Messi has become the first player to score 15 or more La Liga goals in 10 consecutive seasons.

But that wasn’t all, and perhaps the best has been saved for last.

Lionel Messi has become the all-time top scorer for a single club in Europe’s top leagues, with a mammoth 526 Barcelona goals.

That’s one more than legendary Germany and Bayern Munich striker Gerd Muller.
