Pele's all-time goalscoring record and 3 more milestones Messi can set this season

Leo Messi will play for Barcelona in the 2020-2021 season despite initial big fears.

Here are four records the captain can match or even break during his possibly final campaign at the Camp Nou stadium:

Most goals for a single club

• Pele holds the record for the most goals scored for a single club as he managed 643 goals for Santos.
• Leo is edging closer the Brazilian great with 634 total goals for Barcelona.

Most appearances for Barca

• Xavi featured in more matches than any other Blaugrana player with 767.
• An injury-free campaign would see Leo breaking his former teammate's record as he has currently made 731 appearances for the Catalans.

Most seasons with Barca

• Legendary Carles Rexach joins Xavi as the only two players who had played for Barcelona for 17 seasons.
• Leo will start his 17th campaign at the Camp Nou stadium against Villarreal this Sunday yet he will have to stay for another year to break Xavi's and Rexach's record.

Most trophies with a single club

• Ryan Giggs won 36 honours during his illustrious career at Manchester United which is the all-time record.
• Leo will have to win the treble this season to surpass Giggs as he has currently claimed 34 trophies at Barca.
