Leo Messi's 700 matches in numbers

More than 15 years is a long time. Leo Messi has had time to become one of the best, if not the best in history. Nobody has won more, scored more for Barca than him. At Barca and in footbaLl, there is a before anD after Messi. 

Since his debut as a winger, Leo Messi has broken all the records possible. He has only found competition in Cristiano Ronaldo. 

AtBarca, nobody is at the Argentine's level. Against Borussia Dortmund, he scored a goal and got two assists in his 700th game. All the Barca goal involved Messi. 

A lot can be done in 700 matches. ProFootballDB, the BeSoccer database, gives all the stats on Leo Messi. He has scored 613 times, won 495 times and lost just 77. Unbelievable. 

Messi has won more than 70% of the matches, Sevilla are his favourite opponent and Real Madrid the side he has faced most. However, Madrid are the team that have beat him most as well. Borussia Dortmund became the 78th team to concede a goal to Leo Messi. Nobody in history has scored against as many teams. 

Four Champions Leagues, 10 league titles, five Ballon D'ors, six Golden Shoes... he has tons of trophies. No trophy cabinet would be big enough to house all his silverware. 

These are the stats of his 700 competitive games for Barca. And they will still get better. Leo Messi remains hungry for more.
