This is Lionel Messi’s 17th season for the senior team of FC Barcelona. He joined the club in 2001 in FC Barcelona’s famous youth academy ‘La Masia’.

In 2004, he was promoted to the senior team. On 16th October 2004, he made his debut against Espanyol at the age of 17. The Argentine came on as a sub in place of Portuguese legend Deco.

He is now holding the records of the most La Liga wins and goals for a Barcelona player, as well as the most titles.

It is always a debate who is the best player in Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo’s history. It is very tough to separate these two by stats. But this achievement will surely give an advantage to Lionel Messi in this debate.
