Lionel Messi does not chase records instead it is the other way round. Now here’s another feat that Messi could get only if Barcelona gets past Leganes in the second round of the Copa del Rey 2019-20. If the Catalan Giants manage to win this game, Messi will amass 500 victories for the club. Messi made a debut for Barcelona on a high note as they won against Espanyol in 2004. As of now, he has won 499 wins from 709 matches for Barcelona. If the Catalan Giants win the game today, Messi would have a winning ratio of 70.42 per cent in official FCB games.
