Messi two goals from Pelé's record

He is 80 and it's been 43 years since he retired at New York Cosmos. And for the first time since then, one of Pelé's big records is under threat: the number of goals at the same team.

Aspire to him, who else, Leo Messi. Another of the big one club men in history. After sitting out the Champions League match, he returns to the Barcelona squad and will have the chance to equal or even beat Pelé's record against Cádiz.

The Brazilian reached a whopping 643 officially recognised goals for Santos between 1957 and 1974, in which he won 6 Brazilian Leagues, 2 Copa Libertadores, two Intercontinental Cups and an Intercontinental Super Cup.

Messi's first official Barca goal came against Albacete 15 years ago. Now he is just two goals away from equalling a historic record and difficult to reach for other players. To do this, the number 10 had seasons where he scored 73, 60 and 58 goals. Extraterrestrial.

Furthermore, if he scores against Cádiz at the Ramón de Carranza, the Andalusians would be the 38th team in La Liga that Messi has scored against throughout his career.
