Lionel Messi will face Cadiz this Sunday at the Camp Nou and Barca will look to take revenge. He was unable to score at Cadiz earlier in the season and on Sunday, he will look to score against them. They would be the 38th club he will have scored against. The Argentine will also go above Xavi and be the Barca player with the second most amount of appearances.

Messi will go second in Barca's all time appearances list on Sunday. He will also hope to score against Cadiz to add a 38th team to the list of clubs to have conceded a goal to Messi in La Liga. 

He had the opportunity to do it earlier in the season, but he missed out. Barca lost at the Carranza and Messi failed to score. That is one of the few grounds he has failed to score at. 

In fact, he has never scored against Cadiz in a competitive fixture. He will look to change that at home and make the Andalusia outfit his 38th victim

It will also be Messi's 506th La Liga match for Barcelona. That will take him past Xavi (505), but he will still a long way off the record held by goalkeeper Andoni Zubizarreta (622).
